Restructuring & Board Advisory Questions, Answered

No. You do not need reports, figures or a clear plan before getting in touch. It often helps to talk precisely because things feel unclear. Bring the situation as it is, and GMM will help you make sense of it and identify the priorities from there.

That is exactly what an initial conversation is for. It costs nothing and commits you to nothing, and you will leave it with a clearer, more honest view of your options either way. If GMM is not the right answer for your situation, we will tell you straight.

As early as possible. The most common regret in these situations is waiting too long, because the sooner GMM understands your position, the more options remain open. If your business is under financial pressure or the relationship with your lender is becoming strained, that is the moment a conversation is worth having, even if you are not yet sure what you need.

A receiver acts for the lender, and an examiner runs a formal court process, and both typically come into play once a situation has already escalated. GMM works before that point, as an independent member of your board, helping the business stabilise, rebuild trust with its lenders and stay in control of its own future rather than handing that control to an external appointee.

GMM's value is that it takes no side. It acts in the best interest of the business's survival and recovery, with no conflict of interest and no agenda beyond the right outcome. That independence is exactly why lenders trust and often recommend GMM, because an impartial presence inside the business gives everyone accurate information and a properly managed process.

Transparently, with a clear scope and defined deliverables agreed at the outset, so there are no surprises. Fees reflect the nature of the work and the stage the business is at, and GMM is known for mobilising quickly to make an immediate impact. The specifics are discussed openly in your initial conversation.

GMM takes a temporary, non-executive seat at the heart of your business, bringing senior, independent judgement to the boardroom when it is needed most. That means strengthening governance, managing the relationship with lenders and stakeholders, and helping the board make difficult decisions objectively and decisively, without the long-term commitment or cost of a permanent appointment.
