Stories that make a difference

Behind every company, there are people, visions, and challenges to overcome.

On this page, we share the true stories of entrepreneurs who, with our support, have turned their ambitions into concrete projects and transformed complex moments into paths of rebirth, growth, and lasting success.

1. From crisis to resurgence: when an idea is worth more than the numbers

The Challenge

An entrepreneur in the mechanical engineering sector had developed an innovative and unique patent, the result of years of study, sacrifice, and determination. An idea with an enormous market potential, but sustained with limited personal resources and a heavy reliance on debt: €5 million in financial exposure, against a turnover that did not even reach half of that amount.

To make matters more complicated, his personal life was marked by a separation and the responsibility of raising a child. The financial pressure and the psychological weight of the crisis risked jeopardizing not only the company’s future but also the entrepreneur’s peace of mind.

The Result

Beyond restructuring, it became a journey of personal and professional renewal.

Thanks to a human and strategic approach, the entrepreneur regained peace of mind, confidence, and leadership ability. The company was not only saved, but also turned the crisis into a story of resilience, innovation, and success.

Our Approach

We started with the person, not the numbers. Before developing strategies, we build a path of emotional support, restoring the entrepreneur’s confidence and clarity in decision-making. Only in this way was it possible to face the crisis with a fresh perspective.

The restructuring plan included three key actions:

  • Spin-off of non-strategic traditional operations to streamline the structure and focus resources on the core business.
  • Leveraging the patent to transform the invention into a genuine revenue stream, bringing innovation to the market in a competitive way.
  • A debt-restructuring process, legally compliant and aligned with a five-year plan, which provided financial relief, time, and stability to relaunch the business

The Challenge

An electrical works company displayed impressive numbers: €30 million in revenue, 250 employees, and just two clients. Yet behind the surface of success was a fragile reality. €36 million in debt, mounting compliance complexities, stalled projects, delayed payments, and a supply chain under severe strain.

At the heart of it all was an entrepreneur overwhelmed by the weight of his responsibility, caught between the fear of losing the business he had built through years of dedication and the struggle to preserve his personal dignity.

The Result

The crisis has turned into an opportunity for revival. The company has streamlined its structure, consolidated new partnerships, and embarked on a path of strategic diversification. The goal now is concrete: to double revenue in five years and no longer depend on just a few clients. The entrepreneur has regained confidence, the employees stability, and the brand a stronger positioning.

This experience shows that, with the right leadership, even a critical situation can become the starting point for a new phase of growth and independence.

Our Approach

We started, as always, from the person. We listened to the entrepreneur and his family, clearly explaining the causes of the crisis and distinguishing the company’s situation from the human value of those who were leading it.

A fundamental step to restore calm, strength, and awareness, creating the conditions to face the corporate restructuring process with clarity.

The initiative was carried out with a strategic vision and on multiple levels:

  • Debt-discharge procedure: to halt creditors' actions and develop a sustainable debt management plan.
  • Spin-off of low-value-added activities: leased to a solid former supplier, who evolved from a simple operational partner into a strategic ally
  • Business diversification: through the scouting and acquisition of a complementary activity, technologically related yet independent, capable of driving innovation and reducing dependence on the company’s two main clients.

The Challenge

A long-established family business operating in the sale of hydraulic equipment found itself in a critical situation: €5 million in revenue and €6.2 million in debt.

The financial difficulties were compounded by a complex generational transition: the founders, a husband and wife, had a conflictual relationship, while their two children, chosen to lead the company, struggled to work together due to their very different personalities.

The company, despite having a solid market foundation, was on the verge of collapse. A financial, organizational, and above all, human solution was needed.

The Result

This strategy made it possible to turn a family and financial crisis into a balanced relaunch project.

The result is a harmonized family and business ecosystem: two siblings who have finally become complementary, a more structured group thanks to the holding company, and a growth outlook that not only overcame the crisis but also generated added value and new opportunities.

Our Approach

First of all, we acted with a dual perspective:

  • on one hand, financial restructuring to give the company immediate relief;
  • on the other hand, the reorganization of family governance, to turn differences into complementary strengths rather than obstacles.

We then initiated a multi-phase process:

  1. Negotiated crisis resolution: disposal of non-strategic assets, debt reduction, and a repayment plan agreed upon with tax authorities, banks, and suppliers.
  2. Creation of a family holding company: a coordinating structure designed to ensure balance and continuity.
  3. Enhancement of individual strengths:
  • The more rigorous and meticulous brother was placed in charge of the historic company, tasked with consolidating the market, optimizing internal processes, and ensuring strict compliance with the plan agreed upon with creditors.
  • The more creative and visionary brother was entrusted with founding a new company focused on developing innovative markets, particularly in the fields of home automation and domestic cybernetics, two segments with extremely high growth potential.
