Strategies that Drive Businesses Forward

Strategy and Consulting

The Cheshire Cat in Alice in Wonderland said, “If you don’t know where you are going, any path will do.”

  • We believe that strategy drives actions and actions produce results measured in financial performance.
  • If the financial performance is “under performance”, then there is most likely a strategic issue.
  • Strategy takes into consideration not only the direction but also the assets, both human and financial, available to translate the strategy into actions.
  • We evaluate the current strategy measured against resources and results and determine the best path to pursue.
  • Whether assessing business challenges and opportunities, designing solutions, or leading teams through implementing complex projects, we can get it done!
  • Reconstruction Partners has over 80 combined years of owning, running, sustaining and growing restaurant brands, globally. Trust Founders – we’ve been in your shoes.

Mergers and Acquisition

Sometimes, an exit or bolt-on is the best strategy and action

  • We prepare a valuation of the company and marshal it through from sourcing the buyer to closing.
  • There is a time when founders need to turn over the reins of their company not only for it to survive, but also reach its full potential.
  • Often the strategic acquisition of an additional brand is energizing to both companies.
  • The synergies gained from consolidation of the administrative functions and related expenses make the two stronger than each company was on its own.
  • When a seller is looking for a buyer or a buyer is looking for an acquisition, we act as a catalyst to facilitate the deal.
  • Reconstruction Partners has successfully completed many M&As, mainly acquisitions in the restaurant industry and beyond.

Restructuring

It’s about building on what is good and rebuilding what is not.

  • We believe that restructuring is closely tied to and moves out from the right strategy.
  • Restructuring addresses the design of the organization, the balance sheet, and the daily operations of the company.
  • The organization must be comprised of the right people with the right skill set in the right place. We can address organizational issues by supplying interim management and/or guiding the recruiting process as well as developing a strong functioning organizational structure.
  • The financial component either limits or empowers a company to execute its plan. If there is a liquidity problem, we can source equity or assist in utilizing assets for liquidity.
  • Often there are assets that can be re-franchised which we consider as part of restructuring.
  • If there is a debt problem, we will work with existing lenders or source new lenders, which we have a plethora of.

  • When a fresh perspective is needed or the brand is in trouble, experienced and seasoned eyes can stabilize and redirect the concept.
