MB Empresas — Business Consulting

High-performance consulting where every project is unique.

Careful analysis and a solid understanding of the current situation precede any proposal.

Direct participation of the partners in the on-site execution of consulting projects.

A working team structured around each project, composed of senior consultants with prior executive experience in the topics addressed.

Independence and the absence of any conflicts with the interests of each client.

An overall action plan, with broad involvement of the client’s teams, to address in an integrated and coordinated way the various issues identified while analysing the current situation. The work follows a problem-solving methodology applied uniformly to every case and by every area involved.

Based on an analysis of the structure of operating costs and expenses, or of the working capital used in operations, improvement opportunities are identified. With the involvement of the client’s key areas, targets are set and a control and follow-up program is defined to ensure the expected results are achieved.

Drawing on an assessment of the financial statements, an analysis of the current debt structure and an understanding of the company’s operating cycle, we seek to identify, map and quantify the different opportunities to reduce costs and financial risks.

Where the company’s financial position shows an imbalance between its short-term capacity to generate funds and its debt service, MB Empresas can help the client understand the factors behind that situation and design and execute an action plan to restore that capacity, including supporting the client’s management in discussions to restructure existing liabilities.

Modernization of the company’s decision-making process at the Board of Directors (or Partners’/Quotaholders’ Council) and Executive Board levels, support in drafting or updating legal corporate documents and company regulations (bylaws, rules for corporate bodies, advisory committees, approval authority levels, etc.), and support in drafting and/or reviewing corporate compensation, financial and risk policies.

Support in preparing the business plan with financial projections and the valuation of the company.

In pursuing its strategy, a company may face transactions whose challenges lie beyond the experience built up in its day-to-day activities. MB Empresas is equipped to assist its clients in business expansion transactions such as:

• Mergers, acquisitions, partnerships or divestments;
• Economic and financial feasibility analysis and structuring of expansion projects;
• Adjustments to the corporate structure to improve operational and financial efficiency;
• Preparation to attract a financial or strategic investor, and the search for that investor;
• Special long-term financial transactions.
