Independent business reviews (IBR)
Impartial reviews that give lenders and boards a shared fact base—and a clear view of what must happen next.
An independent business review exists to cut through advocacy. We assess going concern, cash runway, options, and the realism of management’s plan—then recommend a path with the trade-offs stated plainly.
IBRs are often commissioned under time pressure. We move fast without sacrificing the independence that makes the report useful to every stakeholder at the table.
