Our specialist skills in this arena have played a vital role in many high profile retail sector restructurings, mergers and acquisitions. As well as being approached by leading retailers for assistance, we have also developed close relationships with some of the world's best-known banks and private equity firms.

When retailers are restructuring, or investors are acquiring a retail business, they often wish to retain only part of a store portfolio and its stock. We work with retailers' management and prospective buyers and sellers of businesses to realise the best possible returns on unwanted inventory, fixed assets and real estate during restructurings, mergers and acquisitions. In many
cases we can guarantee results to our clients and
provide up-front payments.

Our involvement can extend well beyond acting as a broker. In most cases, we put our own capital at risk by acting as principal and financier in providing cash financing for acquisitions and restructurings.

Our ability to assume risk in disposing of surplus or under-performing assets flows from our understanding of the true value of inventories, fixed assets and real estate. In essence, we see value where others may not.
