Warning Signs Introduction page

We have re-produced here some of the warning signs that (as a director, shareholder, banker, accountant or advisor) you should consider when things get tough.

Very few directors set out to manage insolvent businesses. Whilst this is an obvious statement, it is important to stress. Few SME companies have all of the necessary skills in all levels of the management of the business to cope with the huge burden that insolvency can place on a company. Most businesses need help in specific areas of operation - accountancy and financial reporting, sales and marketing, HR, production, general management, strategic planning and corporate governance.

It is KSA's strongly held view that we must help the management focus on the issues that the company faces, identify and agree weaknesses in the board and management and set strategies for change that are essential for the survival of the business.

It is also apparent in most distressed companies that we see the management expend a large proportion of their available time on fighting fires. Focus on their specific roles and delivery of performance targets are rarely achieved when poor cashflow is constantly the main issue in each day.

So read the contents below and if they become familiar - talk to us soon.
