Crisis Management & Stabilisation
Crisis Service
Stop the bleeding. regain control.
In a crisis, delay is damage. Arx Nova deploys within 24 hours to take decisive control across financial, legal, operational and reputational fronts.
We embed directly into your leadership team to contain the threat, stabilise key functions and create the headroom needed for clear, confident decision-making. No chaos. No silos. No passengers.
Stabilisation doesn’t always mean recovery. It means confronting reality, fast. We work with you to understand what can be saved, what must change and where the risks are hiding. Our role is not to protect egos. It’s to protect value, safeguard leadership capacity and give the business its best shot at survival.
We lead from the front. From on-site triage and functional control to aligning stakeholders and managing high-pressure communications, we act fast and act decisively. We don’t write reports. We solve problems. We do the hard work now so your leadership team has options later.
Every decision we make in this phase is designed to buy you time, create space to think and prevent avoidable loss. It’s about restoring control when it matters most.
The outcome is a stabilised business, a focused leadership team and a clear next step. Whether that’s rebuilding, restructuring or transitioning to a longer-term transformation partner, we leave you ready to move forward with confidence.
Because in a crisis, what you do in the first 10 days can define the next 10 years.
What crisis looks like
A crisis doesn’t announce itself politely. It arrives as a shockwave:
- A sudden cash shortfall that threatens payroll.
- A regulatory intervention that freezes your operations.
- A cyber breach exposing confidential client data.
- A leadership scandal that drains stakeholder confidence.
- A supply chain collapse leaving you without critical stock.
Whatever form it takes, the result is the same: uncertainty, chaos, and a leadership team under siege.
How we respond
We don’t arrive with a slide deck. We arrive with experience, sleeves rolled up, and a clear framework:
1. Immediate triage (first 72 hours)
- Establish control of decision-making.
- Assess financial exposure and critical cash flow risks.
- Identify immediate legal or compliance landmines.
- Stabilise internal and external communications.
2. Critical intervention (weeks 1–2)
- Rapid cost containment and cash preservation.
- Negotiate with creditors, regulators, or key stakeholders.
- Lock down operational processes to prevent further damage.
- Restore confidence with employees, customers, and investors.
3. Core stabilisation (weeks 3–4)
- Build interim governance structures.
- Develop recovery scenarios and options.
- Re-establish supply, service, and commercial continuity.
- Provide transparent reporting to leadership and stakeholders.
4. Handover preparation (weeks 5–6)
- Package findings, diagnostics, and stabilisation measures.
- Present options for the next phase, scoping or transition.
- Ensure leadership is back in control with clear next steps.

- A business that has stopped haemorrhaging cash.
