Financial Access acts on behalf of investors, management, or other stakeholders as financial advisers on a transactional basis in support of deal assessment, execution or due diligence. Financial Access can perform detailed analysis of a financial institution’s operational capability and financial position, addressing management and financial problems or credit issues. Shareholders seek our advice on their business strategy and ask for validation or M&A advice.

Our approach is disciplined, predictable, proven and effective. Once we have a clear understanding of the engagement and the desired outcome, we identify the relevant requirements in terms of information and resources needed.

Based on thorough factual analysis and leveraging comparable experience, we develop a plan of action that may include restructuring debt, rationalising operations or refocusing the business. Throughout the process, we maintain an active and open dialogue with investors and company management to build consensus and ensure that all parties have a shared understanding.

Our advice can cover the following range of disciplines:

• In-depth operational and financial scan

• Assessment of business, turn around strategies, or new business launches

• Debt restructuring (e.g. refinancing and arrangements with creditors)

• Recapitalisation

• M&A advice (including privatisation)
