CPM Services provides comprehensive Business Health Checks (BHC) to assist business owners, directors and management teams in evaluating the financial and operational health of their businesses. Our approach focuses on identifying potential risks, weaknesses and early warning signs of financial distress before these develop into more serious challenges that may threaten the sustainability of the business.
A Business Health Check involves an independent assessment of the company’s financial performance, cash flow, working capital requirements, operational efficiency, debt obligations and overall business structure. By examining these key areas, CPM is able to identify underlying problems, assess the company’s ability to meet its financial commitments and highlight opportunities for improvement.
Unlike formal business rescue proceedings, a Business Health Check is a preventative measure designed to provide management with a clearer understanding of the company’s current position and the practical steps that may be required to improve its performance. This allows business owners and directors to make informed decisions at an early stage, potentially avoiding the need for more extensive restructuring or formal intervention.
Drawing on the combined experience of Pat Pattinson and Jaco Durandt in business rescue, corporate restructuring and turnaround management, CPM approaches each assessment with an understanding of the financial and operational challenges faced by businesses across various industries. Our experience in dealing with financially distressed companies allows us to identify potential concerns that may otherwise remain unnoticed until the business is already experiencing significant difficulties.
Following the assessment, CPM provides practical recommendations aimed at improving cash flow management, addressing operational inefficiencies, restructuring financial obligations where necessary and strengthening the company’s overall financial position. Where more substantial intervention is required, we can also assist with the development and implementation of an appropriate turnaround or restructuring strategy.
At CPM Services, we believe that early intervention is often the most effective means of protecting a business. Our Business Health Checks are therefore designed not merely to identify problems, but to provide business owners and management with the information, guidance and practical solutions necessary to protect their businesses, improve performance and promote long-term sustainability.
CPM Services provides professional business brokering services, assisting business owners, investors and prospective purchasers with business sales, acquisitions and ownership transfers. Drawing on experience in business rescue, restructuring and turnaround management, we help clients assess business value, identify opportunities, navigate negotiations and facilitate commercially sound transactions.
Not sure how your business is really doing? A Business Health Check is a review of your company’s finances and operations. It spots early signs of trouble, shows you the risks and opportunities, and gives you clear next steps. You’ll know where your business stands and what to do about it.
Business rescue offers a formal legal route to recovery for companies in financial distress. Under the oversight of a licensed practitioner, your business is protected from creditors while it restructures. During that time, a rescue plan is developed, published and implemented, giving the business a real chance to stabilise, rebuild and keep trading.
Leading a turnaround takes authority and a clear plan. A CRO takes charge of your company’s operational and financial recovery, ensuring that all stakeholders involved are brought together around a unified recovery plan. They implement immediate changes and operate independently from the current management team.
Whether you’re ready to step back or need to leave, the right exit takes planning. We develop tailored exit plans for business owners. Our options include a sale, a management buy-out, family succession or liquidation. Every plan takes legal, tax and operational factors into account and aims to get the best value for shareholders.
Need an objective view of where your company stands? An IBR looks at your financial and operational position and identifies the main risks and opportunities. It provides practical, independent recommendations to support decisions on funding, restructuring or exit.
Your board can benefit from an outside voice, especially when times are uncertain. An NED provides impartial oversight, strengthens board decision-making and guides strategic direction. You get turnaround expertise at board level without the bias of day-to-day involvement.
