Overview

Holistic business turnaround

Businesses that are underperforming or distressed typically display two traits. Firstly, they may have commercial issues that need to be resolved quickly. Secondly, they often experience a shortage of capital. Attempts to resolve these business issues often results in a long, drawn out process with a hybrid solution that increases the risk of an ineffective outcome. Too often, the primary objectives of the exercise (increasing shareholder value) is compromised by the differing objectives of all the participating interests (banks, management and shareholders).

At Symphony we believe there is a gap in the market to provide a seamless combination of management expertise plus equity and debt finance. That’s why we’ve developed a ’single source’ investment solution where highly experienced management expertise is provided along with the required refinancing funds. This ensures we’re immediately aligned with the interests of managers and owners to optimise the prospect of a full recovery.

We achieve this through our approach of fielding relevant, senior business people who support existing management teams and the ready resources of Symphony Equity Investment Syndicate
