Business
turnaround is a complex area, and one which has its own industry surrounding
it. It is associated with corporate insolvency, but businesses that
seek a turnaround solution may not actually at that moment be insolvent
in the strict senses of the word.
Directors
who are monitoring the position of their business will be aware if their
business is in need of expert advice. If performance and profitability
issues are not addressed simultaneously then the entire business could
be placed in jeopardy. A successful turnaround will have to juggle conflicting
priorities whilst at the same time charting a course for the most effective
remedy.
The business turnaround process can be
hard and uncompromising, however, when set alongside the potential disaster
of doing nothing; it will be clear that the status quo will rarely be
the answer.
A business turnaround is going to need
to look at every facet of the business. Dig out your old business, sales
and operating plans (if you ever made any), revamp them for the new
business. Call in your key personnel, directors and advisors, tell them
what is happening to the business and ask for input. Have a look again
at those plans you amended and amend again in the light of suggestions
made. Get in your employees, be honest and ask them to buy in or ship
out. Head off your customers, call them before they call you. You’ll
be surprised what they may be able to offer. If you have agents, talk
to them, ask how they can help.
Don’t
forget the HMRC when implementing your business turnaround. Renegotiate
your tax liabilities before they become a problem. Make a payment offer
and stick to it. Call your bank, arrange a meeting and tell them how
you are addressing the situation. Staff are an expense, so keep only
those who add value. Cut costs, check and then cut again. You’ll
be surprised at just how much waste you can strip out.
Business turnaround is hard but rewarding.
It can be expensive but less expensive than business failure.
