Your business is under pressure. We've been here before.
When cash is tight, lenders are circling, and the management team is stretched to breaking point — you need advisors who have sat in the chair, not just observed from outside.
Taiga Associates has spent 25 years helping UK businesses find a way through.

Rapid business assessment. Cash, obligations, options — clear-eyed within days.
Plan
Robust turnaround plans underpinned by integrated financial models. Board-ready, lender-grade.
Deliver
We embed with your team and drive implementation. We don't walk away until the job is done.
When a business is under
pressure, clarity is everything.
Growth plans stall, lender relationships fray, and management teams find themselves firefighting instead of leading. The difference between recovery and decline often comes down to one thing: acting early with the right expertise.
Taiga Associates brings over 25 years of hands-on turnaround and restructuring experience to UK businesses in difficulty. Our team has worked inside distressed companies — not just advised from the outside — combining Big 4 and mid-tier professional backgrounds with the practical, coalface experience that only comes from having sat in the hot seat.
- Clarity first. Before we recommend anything, we get the full picture. A rapid, honest assessment of cash, operations, and stakeholder positions — so decisions are based on facts, not assumptions.
- Data-driven. Every recommendation is built on rigorous financial modelling and analysis. Our forecasts and turnaround plans are designed to withstand scrutiny from boards, lenders, and creditor committees.
- Hands-on delivery. In nearly every engagement, a member of our team takes a board or senior management seat — driving the turnaround from inside the business, working shoulder to shoulder with your people.
