Managing risks posed by COVID-19: Why you need to act now and how

COVID-19 (the coronavirus) has been declared a global pandemic, and every company in the world is taking on significantly more risk as a result. Capital management and liquidity are two of the biggest immediate priorities, combined with corporate and operational restructuring, and debt management. Review and management of these can only be done effectively if the right quantity and quality of information is available.

Following any review, the execution of actions and decisions made to address a company's situation will involve this information being disclosed in a secure and controlled way to various parties.

The more prepared a company is to deal with lenders, financiers, investors, potential purchasers – all those people that would be there to help the company if it needed to extend its cash runway, conduct a strategic review, reorganise or restructure operations, sell an asset or business – the better placed it is to weather the disruption posed by unprecedented events we are seeing today.

If your business needed to raise capital, refinance a debt facility or divest, would you be able to express your company’s value to a third party – today? This week? This month? How quickly could you get an advisor up to speed for the right advice?

Every key outcome for a business requires due diligence and critical information to be expressed. Potential buyers, investors and financiers can only move fast and make decisions if they can conduct due diligence swiftly with a high degree of confidence. All this maps back to ensuring your company is ready for that outcome.

The faster and the better a company can do that in this uncertain environment, the greater their advantage will be. And not just for a single event, but for enduring success in the long run and through any economic downturn or uptick. It positions companies to both mitigate risk and seize opportunities quickly and efficiently.
