Business rescue services for distressed companies
Business rescue is designed to give a financially distressed company breathing room through a structured legal process. It aims to rehabilitate the business where possible, or to deliver a better return for creditors than immediate liquidation. Our approach is practical and evidence-led: we review the company’s position, evaluate the prospects of rescue, and guide decision-makers through a defensible plan aligned with commercial realities.
We support directors who must act responsibly and lawfully under pressure, as well as creditors and affected persons who need clarity on their rights, voting powers, and recovery options. Where business rescue is appropriate, we help clients move quickly and correctly to protect the business from further deterioration.
Support across the process
Our process involves multiple stakeholders, strict timelines, and ongoing communication. We assist with preparation, stakeholder engagement, and risk management at each stage—so that decisions are properly documented and the process remains compliant. Our team also helps clients deal with urgent threats such as demands, enforcement steps, or supplier instability, while building a realistic recovery strategy.
Where corporate rescue is not viable, we provide clear advice on alternatives such as restructuring steps, negotiated settlements, or liquidation pathways—so clients can make confident decisions without unnecessary delay.

FAQs
Business rescue is a legal process for financially distressed companies aimed at rehabilitating the business or achieving a better return for creditors than immediate liquidation, under a structured plan and oversight.
A company should consider a formal rescue process when it is financially distressed—such as persistent cash-flow problems, creditor pressure, or impending enforcement action—but still has a reasonable prospect of recovery.
A formal rescue process typically introduces a temporary moratorium on legal proceedings and enforcement action against the company, subject to the rules of the process and specific circumstances.
It can be initiated by the company (through a board resolution) or by an affected person in certain circumstances. The correct route depends on the facts, urgency, and stakeholder position.
Not always. If rehabilitation is not viable, liquidation or a negotiated restructuring may be more appropriate. Legal advice helps assess options and select the most effective path.
Timelines vary depending on complexity, stakeholder engagement, and the condition of the company’s finances. A plan is often developed within a few weeks, but negotiations, voting, and implementation can extend the process.
