We work with directors in this space every day. The first thing we tell them: this is not a reflection of who you are. Good operators get caught by things they can't control. The measure of a director isn't whether their business hits rough water - it's what they do about it.

Three things cause viable businesses to fail unnecessarily: directors waited too long; they didn't get specialist advice early enough; and the system is designed to manage failure, not prevent it. That is the space Rebound fills.
We don't start with a service catalogue. We start by listening.
Rapid assessment of business position, cashflow, and strategy to chart a viable recovery path.
Resizing debt and capital structures to align with sustainable business performance.
Support directors and their legal and tax advisers to develop and evidence a course of action that may support Safe Harbour protection.
Manage and advocate with lenders, investors, suppliers, and employees - ensuring alignment and preserving value.
Independent analysis of financials, forecasts, assumptions and options for directors, boards and lenders.
Strategic sell-side advisory, managing business sales or divestments to realise maximum value post-recovery.
When the problem isn't just the balance sheet. Diagnosing and fixing the operational, structural and capability issues that are causing an organisation to underperform or decline.
We'll look at your situation, tell you exactly where you stand, and lay out your options. If we can help, we'll tell you how. If we can't, we'll say so - and point you to someone who can. No invoice. No follow-up unless you want it.
The directors who end up in the worst position are the ones who waited too long to have this conversation.

A 31-year-old family business. The bank was three weeks from appointing a receiver.
Enforcement withdrawn. Debt restructured. Business still operating today.
Fifteen stores. Tax office arrears. Personal guarantees across four leases. The director hadn't slept properly in months.
Personal exposure contained. Tax office arrangement accepted. Nine stores returned to profitability.
A SaaS business with a real product and a real market - but creditors losing patience before the revenue curve arrived.
Extended terms agreed. Sales pipeline built. Director retained full ownership.
In the world of medicine, instinct and first impressions often play a crucial role in the decisions we make. From the first few minutes of meeting Brendan, I knew, unequivocally, that he was the adviser I had been seeking to navigate the intricate financial and structural challenges facing our private hospital. Brendan possesses an innate ability to instil trust. I immediately sensed that he was genuinely on my side, looking beyond short-term fixes and aligning perfectly with our long-term vision.

Financial distress is often a symptom, not the root cause. Rebound diagnoses and addresses the operational, structural and capability issues that are driving underperformance - so the fix actually holds.
A turnaround adviser helps directors and management understand the financial and operating pressures facing a business, identify practical recovery options and support the plan that follows. The work can include cashflow priorities, stakeholder communication, debt discussions and operating-model changes. The aim is to make the next decision clearer while there are still options available.
Safe Harbour may protect a director from civil liability for insolvent trading where, after suspecting insolvency, the director develops one or more courses of action reasonably likely to lead to a better outcome than immediate administration or liquidation and the relevant debt is incurred in connection with that course of action or in the ordinary course of business. It does not itself remit a Director Penalty Notice.
Seek advice as early as possible when cashflow shortfalls, tax obligations, lender pressure, declining performance or a deteriorating operating model are becoming harder to manage. Early advice does not decide the outcome for a director; it helps establish the position, the questions that need answers and the range of options that may remain.
Initial turnaround and restructuring discussions are private. Rebound Advisory works with directors, boards and advisers on informal assessments and recovery planning; formal appointments and legal obligations can involve different disclosure requirements. The appropriate confidentiality arrangements should be confirmed for the particular matter.
