Business Intervention and Support for Majority Shareholder

Our client contacted NSM to seek our advice and support in a very turbulent and unwelcome attempted take-over by the Directors and minority share holders within the business.

The attempted ‘internal coup’ unstabilised a highly successful and profitable business with a long national and international tradition and reputation for offering exceptional advice and service to its clients.

An internal clinical review by NSM of all financial, performance, management and operating systems within the business revealed an enormous amount of key issues and concerns that the client needed to deal with urgently to prevent further poor financial and operational performance, caused by the internal conflict, which had caused the business to lose money for the first time in its history.

NSM worked alongside the owner / Chairman as the majority shareholder, offering professional advice, direct intervention and moral support to ensure the business returned to its profitable history as quickly as possible.

This long-term NSM engagement with our client supported the Chairman to re-establish control over his business, whilst working alongside staff members, developing confidence in the future with a refocused longer term vision, strategy and key objectives for staff members and the business to deliver.

Revised control, management and financial performance disciplines have been introduced and established in the business which is now performing effectively and making a profit for the first time in the last 18 months, with renewed confidence and operating vigour for the business’ bright future.
