01
Scope the decision
We define what decision the review needs to inform and the evidence required to support it.

Independent business reviews
clear enough to act on.
When the existing information is no longer enough, an independent view can bring focus to difficult decisions. Our reviews are designed to make the next decision clearer, not to produce a report that sits on a shelf.
What this work is designed to achieve
A practical path, not a generic report.
An independent review provides a decision-ready view of financial position, cashflow, operational drivers and realistic options for directors, boards and lenders.
How we work
Clear work. Clear accountability.
02
Ingest and test information
We examine the financial, operational and stakeholder evidence, challenging assumptions where needed.
03
Report the implications
We present the findings in plain language with clear options, assumptions and next actions.

Before we speak
Bring the facts you have.
You do not need a finished pack before an initial call. If these items are available, they help us understand what needs attention first.
- The decision the review must inform and the audience for the findings
- Management accounts, forecasts, facility information and existing reporting
- Access to the people who own the underlying assumptions
- Key questions management, the board or the lender need tested
Scope and fit
An independent business review is scoped to the decision it must inform. It is not an audit, valuation, legal opinion or guarantee of future performance unless those matters are expressly commissioned from the appropriate specialist.
Why Rebound
Rebound combines restructuring judgement with practical operating questions. That is useful where a review must test not only the numbers, but whether the plan can be delivered.
Engagement questions
What directors and stakeholders often ask first.
Who can commission an independent review?
Boards, management teams, lenders and investors may each need an independent view. Scope, access and reporting arrangements are agreed at the outset.
How is independence maintained?
The review should state the question being answered, evidence considered, assumptions and limitations so decision-makers can understand what the findings do and do not establish.
