Business case
Our client, a multinational mass-market retail group, sought assistance with a comprehensive strategic and financial review ahead of a major remodelling of its financing structure.
Our deep experience in the retail sector was instrumental in providing a critical review of management’s business plan, identifying key risks and opportunities, and refining the Group’s liquidity trajectory to secure the refinancing process and ensure stakeholder alignment. Our ability to seamlessly combine corporate finance specialists, cash flow forecasting experts, commercial and market analysts, data scientists, and economists enabled us to deliver comprehensive analyses and tailored, actionable outputs.
We deployed a cross-functional team to deliver an exhaustive yet tailored review, including:
Strategic analysis: assessment of the Group’s market segments, analysing volume and value growth trends, distribution channel dynamics, and forward-looking projections.
Store network analysis: detailed mapping of the store portfolio by format and geography, including local market shares and catchment areas, as well as demographic and economic characteristics.
Financial performance review: analysis of the Group’s historical performance by channel, format and geography, review of the business plan, and construction of the cash flow trajectory and liquidity profile.
Refinancing support: assistance throughout the refinancing process, liaising with key stakeholders.
