Businesses in Difficulty

The earlier challenges are identified and addressed, the better you can overcome them.

Our “BDO Prevention” self-diagnostic tool helps business leaders detect weaknesses and associated risks early, allowing for corrective actions to be implemented. Potential warning signs include:

• Insufficient margins.
• Poor management of the operating cycle.
• Under-capitalization.
• Costly or inappropriate financing policies.
• Poor diversification.

Following the diagnostic, BDO experts provide recommendations and assist in implementing concrete actions, such as:

• Identifying critical risks.
• Drafting crisis scenarios.
• Monitoring using dashboards and budget controls.
• Preparing short- and medium-term forecasts (cash flow and operational tracking).
• Anticipating cash flow needs.

BDO assists with the financial and operational restructuring of your company:

• Identifying financial needs and developing a business plan.
• Improving cash flow.
• Strengthening financial structures (equity, liquidity, capital increases, BPI, FSI, etc.).
• Securing financing solutions and public aid (BPI, CICE, etc.).
• Negotiating with financial organizations (Bank of France, rating agencies, banking partners).
• Assisting with tax and social payment extensions.
• Negotiating debts under ad hoc mandates or conciliation procedures.
• Rebuilding trust with stakeholders (clients, suppliers, banks).
