These could involve shareholder disagreements, contractual breaches, failed acquisitions or suspected fraud. Litigation, asset recovery and insurance claims might be involved.

d) Project Finance
Project finance demands a special approach. That approach needs to be single-minded, hands-on and committed to co-operative working. CTC has shown its skills in this area, and the project finance teams are recognized as leading players in public/private partnerships.
e) Restructuring and Reorganization
Sometimes companies fail, or teeter on the brink of failure. Increasingly there is willingness among financial stakeholders to embrace a ‘rescue culture’. There’s recognition that the early use of formal insolvency procedures might not be the best way to safeguard financial stakes. Sustainable turnaround and sustained improvement may be possible if the right steps are taken.
First, though, the problems need to be diagnosed. What has brought the company to this point, and what are the options? Then all the resources are integrated to identify the range of solutions which can be altered as per the need.

In any such situation independent strategic advice will help you make an informed decision.
CTC uses robust methodologies. Experts with deep experience of valuations, across many different industries and types of company, use the methodology that will get to the right answer. That answer takes account of national and international regulatory issues.
