KNABBEN & CO. PRIVATE EQUITY
Herstructurering & Turnaround
A discreet perspective on business transformation, capital structure, and recovery potential.
Transformation
Change, approached with discipline.
We look at situations where a business may benefit from new structure, stronger governance, or a more resilient capital base.
01
Financial restructuring
Reviewing leverage, liquidity, and capital balance.
02
Operational turnaround
Strengthening execution, focus, and operational clarity.
03
Strategic reset
Refocusing the business model and future priorities.
04
Ownership support
A partner can help support continuity through change.
Meaning
Turnaround is not only repair.
It can also be the process of restoring strategic direction, investor confidence, and operating rhythm for the next stage of value creation.
Focus areas
What can be reviewed
Liquidity
The room to operate while change is implemented.
Capital structure
The balance between debt, equity, and flexibility.
Operations
Execution, priorities, and the practical path to improvement.
Governance
Decision-making, oversight, and ownership alignment.
A partner perspective on businesses in transition.
We consider opportunities where strategic capital and ownership involvement may help stabilise, reposition, or rebuild a business with care.
How we assess
Three lenses
Financial
Cash flow, leverage, and capital resilience.
Operational
Costs, process, leadership, and execution.
Strategic
Direction, positioning, and long-term value creation.
Risks and boundaries
Not every case is suitable.
Turnaround work can be complex, and outcomes depend on quality of information, stakeholder alignment, and the room available to act.
