The situations our clients have to face

Acquisition.

You are entering the capital of a company whether to finance it, or to take control of it or to manage a turnaround. Then you need a clear view of its business plan, of its consistency, and of the company’s management skills. The point is to help the company to maximize its value.

Startup companies.

The key point is to control the action plan and the foreseen cash-burn in order to strengthen the company.

External growth.

Merging several companies or groups is a risk for the buyer. Therefore, it is necessary to reduce the risks with an operational control of the target company and through a good integration into the group.

Operational Follow-up of a subsidiary.

It is necessary to carefully check that the purchased company is totally under control and is globally on track with its business plan. The internal resources necessary to deal with this follow-up are not always sufficient when many subsidiaries need to be followed up.

Launching a difficult project.

The company needs to deal with a strategic project such as making a major improvement of the industrial tool, restructuring, reorganizing, implementing a new information system, implementing a merger program … and the company needs to implement these changes without any damage to the day to day activity.

The business plan is not respected.

The company seriously diverges from the initial business plan and has no chance to quickly come back on track. The relationship between the shareholders and the top executive are very tense, cash is running out, and « time is flying ».

The executive leaves the company.

After an accident or distrust, the top executive may leave the company. The company must keep its momentum while taking the time to recruit the adequate executive and then to transfer power. Depending on the situation, the manager from FONTENAY MANAGERS acts differently.

The Company needs to receive fresh capital.

The shareholder thinks of investing in the company and wants to do it advisedly with full knowledge of facts. Apart from the specific case of financing growth, fresh capital can be necessary if the company has gone through a period of degraded profitability.
