Shareholder and Restructuring-as-a-Service
Under the Shareholder and Restructuring-as-a-Service model, SGP Principal Solutions assumes full ownership of the relevant company or business unit as the new shareholder. Upon transfer, the outgoing shareholder achieves immediate deconsolidation. The restructuring process is deliberately separated from the previous ownership structure. SGP Principal Solutions establishes a clear governance framework, assumes responsibility for steering the transformation process, and works closely with stakeholders and the management team to implement agreed stabilization and value-enhancement measures. Shareholder and Restructuring-as-a-Service represents an entrepreneurial and performance-driven form of external restructuring — particularly suited for situations where conventional restructuring or M&A approaches reach their limits. SGP Principal Solutions is incentivized through a success-based structure aligned with stakeholder interests.
Trustee Models
rust structures are a core component of modern restructuring and transition solutions. They enable the neutral and legally secure administration of assets or shareholdings, foster confidence among financial institutions and stakeholders, and provide a stable platform for restructuring, continuation, or realization strategies. SGP Principal Solutions, in collaboration with the restructuring team of SGP Schneider Geiwitz, offers various trustee models within restructuring and turnaround processes. Depending on the specific situation and the interests of the parties involved, these structures are individually tailored and implemented.

We guide you through the entire transaction process – from the initial idea and M&A strategy development to the successful completion of the project.
