Protect Capital. Stabilise Operations. Recover Value.
When a business or investment begins to underperform, priorities change quickly. Growth becomes secondary; capital preservation becomes critical. Decisions have to be made rapidly, strategically, and with the kind of experienced execution that can protect enterprise value while a situation grows more complex by the week.
Financial distress rarely happens overnight. Declining performance, liquidity pressure, operational inefficiency, governance failure, debt burdens and stalled exits usually build gradually before they become urgent — but once enterprise value starts to deteriorate, immediate action matters.
At Dunamis Strategy Africa, we provide specialist restructuring and insolvency advisory for businesses, investors, funds and institutions facing distressed situations that require immediate intervention. From independent diagnostics and turnaround execution through to distressed asset recovery, recapitalisation, and formal insolvency appointments, we help clients move from uncertainty toward a structured recovery —working alongside investors, boards, creditors and stakeholders throughout.
And crucially, our role goes beyond advice. Most advisers stop at the recommendation. We can act: with a Licensed Insolvency Practitioner in-house, we are able to take formal appointments ourselves — in the jurisdiction where so many African holding structures already sit.
When a business or investment is in distress, we handle the full arc of recovery — from the first independent diagnostic through to formal appointment where it comes to that. Our work follows a single process, and we enter it at whatever stage the situation demands:
1. Diagnostic Review — establishing the true position before any decision is made
2. Turnaround & Recapitalisation — stabilising and rebuilding where recovery is possible
3. Distressed Asset Recovery — recovering value from impaired and exit-blocked assets
4. Insolvency & Liquidation Appointments — formal procedures, taken by a licensed practitioner
5. Receivership & Administration — protecting secured value where enterprise value remains
6. Cross-Border Mandates — coordinating recovery across multiple jurisdictions
The rest of this page walks through that process.
Every mandate begins with the diagnostic. From there, the path is dictated by what the situation can bear — turnaround at one end, formal appointment at the other, and cross-border coordination layered over any of it.
We are typically engaged when businesses, investors or institutions face financial distress or deteriorating asset performance. Common mandates include:
Redesigning capital structures while identifying new investor participation.
Supporting investors managing assets experiencing declining financial or operational performance.
Stabilising organizations requiring operational restructuring and strategic recovery planning.
Helping investors recover capital from assets facing liquidity constraints or delayed exits.
Managing formal closure — including appointment — where recovery is no longer viable.
Most firms provide restructuring recommendations. Few stay involved through execution. Fewer still can take the appointment when it comes to that. Three things set us apart:
We can act, not just advise. At the point where recovery gives way to formal insolvency, most advisers hand the client on. We hold a Licensed Insolvency Practitioner in-house and can take the appointment ourselves — receivership, administration or liquidation — so the client keeps one team from diagnostic to closure.
We are independent. Because we did not make the original investment decision, our assessment of a distressed position — what it is worth, what can be recovered, what must be written off — carries weight with creditors, investment committees, boards and courts that a party marking its own book cannot claim.
We are on the ground, in the right jurisdiction. We work in the markets where the distress sits, and we operate from Mauritius, where so many of the holding structures, security arrangements and enforcement routes already are. Being physically and legally inside that jurisdiction removes the delay and cost of coordinating a recovery through intermediaries.
When value is at risk, execution matters.
This service is designed for organisations facing complex financial recovery challenges requiring experienced intervention.

Whether clients require turnaround execution, distressed asset recovery, recapitalisation strategies, or formal insolvency support, we provide structured recovery solutions designed to protect value.

Your questions answered.
A business should consider restructuring when it experiences declining profitability, cash flow challenges, excessive debt, operational inefficiencies, governance concerns, or financial distress that could affect long-term sustainability.
Restructuring focuses on improving a company’s financial and operational position to restore long-term viability. Insolvency applies when a business is unable to meet its financial obligations and may require formal legal procedures such as liquidation or receivership — which, at Dunamis, we are able to undertake directly through a Licensed Insolvency Practitioner.
Yes. We assist investors and businesses in developing recovery strategies for underperforming investments and distressed assets, focused on protecting capital, improving recoverability, and maximising value wherever possible.
Yes. We support organisations managing restructuring and recovery across multiple jurisdictions by coordinating stakeholders, navigating regulatory considerations, and executing cross-border recovery strategies — coordinated from our Mauritius base.
No. Liquidation is only one possible outcome. Many businesses recover through early intervention, financial restructuring, operational improvement, recapitalisation, or turnaround. We assess each situation individually to determine the most appropriate course for stakeholders.
