Understanding restructuring. Preparing decisions. Implementing measures.
Companies in Düsseldorf and the surrounding area that find themselves in a crisis involving earnings, liquidity, or strategy need quick clarity on their financial situation and a realistic path back to sustainable competitiveness. What matters most is not the assessment itself, but whether the measures are actually implemented within the company—and whether banks and shareholders support this course of action.
As a restructuring consulting firm based in Düsseldorf, WED+ provides comprehensive support throughout this process—from the Quick Check and integrated planning through the restructuring and turnaround plan to operational implementation. Our consultants bring management experience to the table and understand how restructuring works in day-to-day business operations. You can find an overview of our nationwide restructuring consulting services on the Services page, and our offerings for the entire state of North Rhine-Westphalia on the Restructuring Consulting NRW page.

Restructuring success depends on speed and data quality. WED+ uses its own AI-powered consulting platform that digitally integrates analysis, planning, and action management—a capability not found in this form among traditional restructuring consultancies.
Faster transparency: Financial data , plans, and scenarios are processed using AI—the initial analysis is available in days rather than weeks.

Initiative and Project Management: All initiatives, responsibilities, and impacts on a single platform—with an AI assistant for status reports, meeting minutes, and bank reporting.
IBR- or IDW-S6-compliant: Analyses and documentation meet the requirements of banks, shareholders, and appraisers.

Düsseldorf is the state capital, a banking and commercial hub, and home to numerous corporate headquarters, small and medium-sized businesses, and trading companies. When a company in Düsseldorf or the surrounding area faces a crisis, one thing matters above all else: speed. Financing partners expect reliable figures quickly, a viable plan, and a management team that is visibly driving the implementation forward.
As a restructuring consultancy based in Düsseldorf, WED+ supports medium-sized companies in the manufacturing Retail, services, consumer goods, and industrial sectors—from the initial assessment through the Independent Business Review (IBR) and the restructuring plan in accordance with IDW S6, all the way to operational implementation as a CRO or interim manager within the company. We work closely with local banks, restructuring attorneys, insolvency administrators, and tax advisors, and we understand the expectations of lenders in the Rhineland—from savings banks and cooperative banks to NRW.BANK, state banks, and private equity investors.

As early as possible. Typical triggers for companies in Düsseldorf and the surrounding area include a sustained decline in earnings, tight cash flow, covenant violations, or a request from the company’s primary bank for a restructuring plan or an IBR. The earlier action is taken, the greater the room for maneuver—including when it comes to avoiding insolvency. External support should be sought no later than when cash flow can no longer be reliably planned for the coming months.
A restructuring consulting firm in Düsseldorf, such as WED+, analyzes the company’s financial situation, identifies the causes of the crisis, develops a viable restructuring plan with specific measures, and oversees its implementation. WED+ handles every phase of the process—from crisis analysis through the IBR and the IDW S6 report to operational implementation within the company, and, if requested, even assumes the role of CRO.
Restructuring refers to the strategic, operational, and financial realignment of a company—even outside the context of an acute crisis. Turnaround describes the process of overcoming an existing corporate crisis and restoring the company’s competitiveness and ability to service its debt, often based on a turnaround plan in accordance with IDW S6.
A restructuring plan in accordance with IDW S6 is typically required by banks and lenders when loans are to be extended, deferred, or renewed in a crisis situation. It demonstrates the company’s ability to restructure and provides legal certainty for all parties involved. WED+ prepares IDW S6 plans that are recognized by banks and savings banks in Düsseldorf and the Rhineland as the basis for financing decisions, and subsequently oversees the implementation of the measures.
An IBR is an independent analysis of a company’s financial situation, planning, and ability to service its debt. It is typically commissioned by lenders and serves as a basis for decisions regarding further financing—faster and more streamlined than a full IDW S6 report.
A Chief Restructuring Officer temporarily assumes responsibility for the company’s restructuring program: liquidity management, implementation of measures, reporting, and communication with banks, shareholders, and investors. He relieves the burden on management and ensures that the implementation proceeds at a steady pace and is carried out with a sense of commitment.
