OPTION ANALYSIS For companies
At a glance
Initial Situation
Several realistic options are up for debate – operational, financial, or structural solutions. Given the time pressure and the differing interests of those involved, a neutral, reliable basis for comparison is required.
Our Approach
We develop comprehensive alternative courses of action, simulate their impact on liquidity, capital structure, seniority, and recovery rates, and assess feasibility and risks.
Your Benefit
- Objective comparison of options
- Visible trade-offs, downside risks, and upside potential
- Documentation that supports credit and investment decisions
iN Detail
Initial Situation
An option analysis systematically reveals the available scope for action and makes options comparable. To this end, concrete alternatives are developed, their effects on the business model, earnings, liquidity, and stakeholders are evaluated, and scenarios are simulated. The result is a transparent basis for decision-making with clear advantages and disadvantages as well as realistic implementation paths.

Goal, Significance, and Purpose of an Options Analysis
The aim of option analysis is to select the most resilient solution. It creates objectivity, highlights trade-offs, reduces the risk of wrong decisions, and supports a consistent narrative vis-à-vis banks, investors, and shareholders. This accelerates restructuring processes and allows resources to be focused on the most effective option.
