Our Services.

FB Associates offers a range of services directed towards owners who are wishing to get the best out of their companies yet want to make their business lives more manageable:
Client quotes:

"With your help and guidance we have been able to deal with these issues and remarkably in a very short space of time we now look forward to a much healthier business"

"During your time here you were involved in negotiations with our bank and more than aware of the bank's moves to reduce their considerable exposure. I have to place on record that your personal presentation during that meeting and the comfort the bank took, having you on board was hugely influential in their decision to continue support at existing levels".
   Company Turnaround

Turnarounds involve saving an insolvent or potentially insolvent business from closure and returning the business to a stable financial and operating position. At the same time stakeholders positions are protected such as creditors, funding providers, owners and employees.

The process tends to go through the following stages:
    a) Analysis of the Current Situation including a Historical Perspective
    b) Recommending and Implementing an Emergency Action Plan
    c) Restructuring and Repositioning of the Business
    d) Bringing the Business under Control
During this process we work very closely with the owners and key managers. In order to keep costs manageable we assist and direct the management team through many of the issues. They still need to retain ownership of the functions and certainly feel enthusiastic with a sense of achievement when they come out the other side having contributed to the turnaround. We set out the action plan, timetable and install the monitoring/performance indicators. We attend any key meetings where appropriate. We help the owner avoid insolvency or successfully work his way out of it trying to minimise the amount of crisis management involved.

We offer a free initial consultation
Once appointed our service is charged at an agreed daily rate plus expenses. There are no tie-ins or contracts leaving you in full control of our fees. If you get to a point where you feel value is not being added then stop.

As a client any calls for advice are free. Inevitably unplanned issues and opportunities occur whereby you need quick advice or guidance.

About six weeks after the project is concluded we follow up with a free progress meeting.
