Turnaround Consulting

It is senior-led work to move a business from a cash crisis to a credible recovery — stabilizing liquidity, restoring profitability, and earning lender confidence. The engagement runs through four stages: stabilize cash, restructure costs and working capital, align lenders and stakeholders behind a plan, and recover to a stable business. The measure of success is results, not a shelf of deliverables.

The critical window is when cash is tightening, the lender wants a credible plan, and every week of drift burns runway and narrows your options. It is built precisely for owners, CEOs, boards, and lenders facing a cash crisis, covenant default, mounting losses, or a forbearance deadline. Engaging while there is still runway to work with gives the recovery the most room; the confidential cash and viability review is designed to happen this week, not next.

Stabilized liquidity with cash under control and the business still operating, restored profitability with losses stopped and margins rebuilt line by line, and a bankable plan that lenders and stakeholders stand behind. The intent is to keep the business intact and preserve value for owners rather than force a sale. A defensible 13-week cash forecast anchors the whole effort.

The first stage builds a defensible 13-week cash forecast to protect liquidity fast and keep the business operating while the deeper fixes take hold. It also becomes the basis for direct, credible dealings with the lender that secure recovery runway. From there the work resets cost structure, working capital, and underperforming product lines.

National turnaround firms bill at rates a distressed business can rarely justify, and much of that cost funds a bench rather than the fix. Inglewood pairs four decades of turnaround experience with senior-only, low-overhead teams, so capital goes to the recovery instead of the overhead — the senior partner who scopes the work is the one doing it. If the underlying issue is broader ownership or leadership change, our succession work can pick up from there.
