Logistics in difficulty: securing liquidity, preserving room for manoeuvre

Expansion of tolls, diesel prices, staff shortages: many medium-sized logistics companies are coming under growing economic pressure. A lack of planning certainty, volatile order peaks and rising costs of keeping capacity available push many businesses to the limit of what they can bear. Without targeted countermeasures, a standstill looms.

The Worstbrock-Group supports logistics companies in acute crisis and in structural realignment, with expertise, a practical approach and robust solutions. Our advisory approach combines rapid operational relief with strategic foresight. The aim is always the same: to retain control, stabilise business relationships and secure continued existence.

Immediate assistance and crisis management

• Analysis of the economic situation with a quick check
• Liquidity planning and measures to reduce running costs
• Negotiations with creditors, leasing companies and subcontractors
• Preparation of insolvency filings or restructuring solutions

Restructuring & turnaround

• Preparation of restructuring concepts in accordance with IDW S 6 (the German standard for restructuring concepts issued by the Institute of Public Auditors) that withstand court scrutiny
• Support with Eigenverwaltung proceedings (debtor-in-possession management under Sections 270 et seq. of the German Insolvency Code) under the ESUG, the German act facilitating the restructuring of companies
• Development of concepts for continuing the business in order to satisfy creditors
• Implementation of operational measures through interim management

Securing the future & strategy

• Restructuring proceedings under the StaRUG (the German Act on the Stabilisation and Restructuring Framework for Businesses) in the event of imminent illiquidity
• Strategic advice on realigning business models and route planning
• Support with transfers of businesses, succession or sale (M&A)
• Strengthening of sales and staff recruitment as the market recovers

Whether restructuring, Eigenverwaltung or strategic realignment: we work alongside logistics companies through economically strained situations, with clarity, reliability and an ability to implement that makes the difference in the sector.

Make use of your room for manoeuvre before creditors, markets or the tax office present you with a fait accompli.
