Studio notes · North District

The capital structure is the client.

Panel FlowHub sits with boards when a listed group, a family holding, or a mid-market manufacturer in Taiwan must rearrange debt, equity, and operating units without turning the corridor into a rumor mill.

A plastics converter that could not wait for the next AGM

The holding company had drawn a revolving line to fund a delayed export cycle. Covenant headroom vanished in six weeks. We mapped related-party receivables, isolated a saleable coating line, and wrote a lender pack that treated the family office and the bank syndicate as two different audiences. The line was restated; no public announcement was required.

We do not sell optimism. We sell a sequence the treasurer can defend in the next credit meeting.

From the practice lead

Why the studio is small on purpose

I opened Panel FlowHub after watching well-meant “turnaround decks” collapse in the first lender call because nobody had walked the intra-group cash. Corporate restructuring consulting only works if the people in the room have sat with a general ledger that does not reconcile on the first try.

We teach and we staff mandates. The teaching keeps the language honest; the mandates keep the teaching from becoming theatre. If you need a courtroom advocate, we will say so on day one and introduce counsel. That boundary is part of the fee.

How the practice is run

Voices from programs

What people actually used

The related-party map in module three stopped an argument that had been running for two board cycles. We still disagreed on valuation, but at least we were looking at the same graph. I would have liked more time on Taiwan tax step-ups; the studio is honest that tax is referred out.

Liang, Taichung — Balance-sheet reconstruction

★★★★☆

Creditor committee language was dryer than I expected and better for it. Our bank finally stopped asking for a “story” and asked for a 13-week cash view instead.
