The Problem

Credit lines are fully extended. Market share is decreasing. Cash flow is negative and little cash remains. Plants have been closed and workers laid off. Media reports are unfavorable. Handling one – or more – of these crises requires special skills. Major decisions must be reached and acted upon quickly – frequently with limited information. Many companies don’t have the resources or the time to rapidly:

  • Gain Control Over Cash
  • Decide Which Parts of the Business to Divest and Begin Disposition
  • Restructure and Improve the Profitability of Continuing Business Operations
  • Attract and Train New Management and Support Staff
  • Reassure Creditors and Shareholders
  • Develop Repayments and Attract Potential Investors

The Solution

  • Whitehall Group provides management support to companies which have an immediate need for seasoned management skills to take advantage of an opportunity or deal with a crisis. Whitehall Group offers an attractive solution when there is a shortage of time or resources.
  • A potential assignment begins with an assessment by Whitehall Group management – without cost. Before accepting an assignment, Whitehall Group meets with the Board of Directors, and if possible, with management to evaluate the situation. Whitehall Group generally is retained by the client’s Board of Directors and an engagement letter is signed. Fees are on a retainer basis; the engagement can be canceled by either party at any time.
  • Personnel within the client company are fully utilized, and participate in any change process. A team approach combines the knowledge and capabilities of existing personnel with the objectivity and experience of the management firm.
  • Names of clients are not divulged without client permission.
