Performance has deteriorated
Results no longer match the investment plan, cash requirements are increasing, or management's explanations do not resolve the underlying concern.

The investor's problem
Local management can explain the situation. An investor still needs to know what is actually happening.
When performance deteriorates, the overseas parent may receive separate legal, accounting and management views—without a single independent commercial assessment of the investment as a whole.
Nimbus Advisory Services reports directly to the investor, establishes the facts, assesses the value and risks, and recommends what should happen next.
Independent investment oversight
A second, independent set of eyes—before something goes wrong.
An overseas investor with a US holding often has no one whose sole responsibility is to represent the investor's perspective—separate from the company's board, management and advisers.
Nimbus provides ongoing, unconflicted assessment of operating performance, governance, management reporting and emerging risk, reported directly to the investor.
It is not a substitute for the company's own reporting, board or professional advisers. It is an experienced, independent perspective accountable to the investor alone.

Clarity before another irreversible decision.
Confidence has weakened
Reporting appears incomplete, interests are no longer aligned, or the investor needs an objective view independent of the US management team.
A critical decision is approaching
Further funding, management change, lender negotiations, restructuring, sale or exit must be considered before more value is lost.
The decision
Fund. Intervene. Restructure. Sell. Or exit.
The right answer begins with an independent understanding of the business—not with the service an existing adviser happens to sell.

Owners & shareholders
When the company's advisers do not represent your personal interests.
A company's attorneys, accountants and lenders each have a defined role. None may be responsible for protecting the individual owner or shareholder whose capital, guarantees and negotiating position are at risk.
Nimbus provides independent advice to principals facing shareholder conflict, lender pressure, litigation, further funding decisions, a distressed sale or the possible loss of their investment.
