Corporate and Capital Structuring
Any company, whether a start-up, going concern or a major company experiencing unprecedented growth, can benefit from a well thought through capital structure. Gearing ratios or finding the right balance of debt, equity, or alternate financing to run your operation is probably the most important profitability factor. Capital structuring carries both investor and tax risk, whilst long term growth depends on strong cash flows to service debt and provide resources for a sustainable future including expansion opportunities while allowing management to innovate. ReVIVE offers real and practical advice to achieve the right balance and enjoys meaningful relationships with the financial and legal fraternity in Southern Africa built over many years of strong business relationships.
Independent Business Reviews
ReVIVE have an enviable track record in Independent Business Reviews earned over many years. Our team of specialists prepare unbiased and objective reviews, and critically, recommendations involving financial, operational, and strategic drivers and concerns that are crucial for investors and management alike. Often lenders express concerns that company management and shareholders lack the ability to settle loans or offer benchmarked returns on equity investments. Management also use the opportunity from time-to-time to call in experts to align strategy or ask ReVIVE to prepare recommendations on the entire business or divisions that aren’t meeting expectations. ReVIVE specialise in the development of turnaround plans or offer innovative capital restructuring plans for companies - comfortably navigating demands from all stakeholders in a conciliatory and proactive manner, providing stakeholders with realistic views of your company’s financial position or operational wellbeing.
Organisational Restructuring

ReVIVE offers objective change management and boardroom support during times of change. We are perfectly suited for enhancing productivity and increasing efficiencies, and re-aligning employee wellbeing with the revised strategy objectives of companies. This process can go hand-in-glove with prudent financial management, and crafting crisis communication plans - also involving further risk mitigation strategies. Allow ReVIVE to work with your leadership team as you embark on organisational restructuring to transform your company for the future and enhance growth potential.
Profit Improvement Planning
The ReVIVE team have extensive experience in running operations and achieving results in difficult circumstances. As an ongoing and necessary component of best practise business strategy and, following the important IBR process or simply a strong diagnostic of a brand or company underperformance against expectations, Profit improvement plans (PIPs) will always be used in companies to identify risks and opportunities and outflank competitors. ReVIVE will deliver lead or supportive PIPs in the key areas that can help drive profitability - reducing costs, increasing turnover, increasing efficiency, increasing productivity, expanding into new market segments, or developing new products or services. The ReVIVE process is practical and based on learnings from successful track records - encouraging companies to use as a means for continuous improvement - subscribing to the Japanese philosophy of Kaizen which involves everyone in a company understanding the need for continual improvement in processes, products, and services.
