Corporate Renewal

What we do
Bain corporate renewal group (CRG) typically serves in an advisory capacity by collaborating closely with management. Where necessary, we also serve as chief restructuring officer or in an interim management capacity. While other restructuring firms focus on short-term implications, cost cutting and capital structure, our group develops a sustainable, winning turnaround plan by aligning all elements of a successful go-forward business model.

Bain CRG quickly assesses a company's financial health through data-driven competitive and market intelligence, identifying both external and internal sources of distress and sustainable value creation. Encompassing all four components of a successful turnaround–financial, operational, strategic and organizationalthe group combines the decisive, short-term capabilities of traditional restructuring firms with Bain's proven track record of strategy and operational expertise across multiple industries.

We often partner with Bain’s Private Equity group to evaluate potential deals through due-diligence to create the most value for CRG clients.
