Organisations occasionally require assistance in areas which need a fresh perspective or which do not have the necessary skills. This is necessary to maximize value to meet the organisations current and future target objectives. Services include Interim Executive Management, Project Management and Advice.
Stylequity provides advice in relation to:
- Strategic planning, market definition and positioning
- Organisational financial structuring
- Growth and performance
- Commercial strategic integration and operational efficiencies
- Risk management
- Potential acquisition targets
Stylequity achieves this by obtaining a clear understanding of the critical sustainable key success factors, and the core competencies required to be highly competitive in existing and future markets. This is achieved by producing a series of business plans and programs to meet management’s objectives.
Organisations in distress are destroying their own enterprise/wealth value. There are two major reasons why organisations reach this stage:
- Non-viable business model for the current market and/or
- Incomplete management skill set to deliver on business requirements
If this persists key stakeholders must take decisive action, and thus major fundamental change is required to avoid corporate failure. Turnaround is vital for a distressed organisation to survive and obtain sustainable value.
Stylequity’s turnaround approach is structured orientated outcome based, tailored to meet each client’s requirements. Our approach includes the following:
- Analysis and diagnosis
- Development and implementation of turnaround strategies
- Stabilisation
- Sustainable business renewal
- Monitoring and review of turnaround performance
| 3. Performance and Growth Enhancements |
Top priority strategic objectives of an organisation should be to exceed its current stakeholders’ expectations, and/or grow the business. Globalisation and the ever changing business environment have the potential to erode management’s capability to achieve these objectives. Successful organisations should continually evaluate their strategies, markets, value share, investment return and operations.
Value share is one of the unique concepts we use which entails focussing on or servicing the 10% of the market segment that generates 90% of the dollar profitability. This may vary per market segment.
Stylequity works with its clients to review their strategic direction, market definitions, value share, operational and investment performance (includes human capital, IP, information management), and organisational structure. The key to successful structuring is clear target definition and implementation. Our approach includes the following as required:
- Assessment of organisations strategic positioning and performance
- Market definitions and target market focus of existing and new opportunities
- Value share product and service mix
- Assessment of competitive positioning, sustainable competitive advantages and key success factors
- Investment, capital structures and funding arrangements
- Cash management practices
- Risk basket management
- Organisational structures optimization, required key management competencies, systems and processes
- Robust re-alignment and positioning of strategies to current and expected market dynamics
- Development and facilitation of implementation plans
- Structuring of implementation teams and acquisition of required skills sets
- Interim management selection
- Monitoring and review of performance
- Monitor and refinement of strategies to meet market and organisational requirements
| 4. Funding and Financial Structuring |
Organisations regularly need additional capital that is usually required for organic growth, new operations, acquisitions, the refinancing of existing debt, and recapitalisations. Sound investment financial strategies create or enhance enterprise value. The optimal mix of debt/equity will reduce the cost of capital, thereby increasing the likelihood of achieving greater economic return.
Stylequity can assist organisations in the following:
- Determining the optimal capital structure
- Advise on alternative sources of capital, the costs involved, and potential impact on returns
- Selecting the appropriate financing package to meet organisational requirements
To achieve this we obtain a detailed understanding of the organisation’s business drivers and objectives and merge them with their current market requirements. This is done through the development of business plans, information memoranda and financial modelling.
| 5. Deal Management and Transactional Services |
Organisations need to manage transactions well to ensure that they maximize and enhance the transaction value, enterprise value, keep costs to a minimum, and that the transaction meets their strategic requirements. It is therefore essential that every transaction be project managed in a holistic manner.
Stylequity can assist organisations by managing and performing the following:
- The integration of legal, financial and other key stakeholders
- Leverage the client’s strengths to enhance value
- Manage the deal structuring process
- Assist in negotiations
- The financial modelling and due diligence
- Draw on our extensive network to ensure all key aspects of the deal have been covered
