Business in Financial Distress? Turn It Around Before It's Too Late.
Every week you wait costs you leverage. With creditors, with banks, with the NCLT. A restructuring done on your terms is worth ten times more than one forced on you by the courts.
DealPlexus delivers end-to-end financial and operational restructuring , debt negotiation, OTS settlements, IBC advisory, and post-restructuring credit access , before your distress becomes insolvency.
This is not a restructuring template. This is a turnaround.

Why Distressed Businesses Trust DealPlexus Over an Insolvency Practitioner
When a business is in distress, who you call first determines everything. Most promoters call an insolvency practitioner , who is structurally oriented toward IBC proceedings, not away from them. DealPlexus is oriented toward outcomes: your business surviving, your promoter stake preserved, and your lenders satisfied without a resolution professional taking control.
What Happens to Your Business Every Month You Don't Act
Most promoters experiencing financial distress make one mistake: they delay. They hope the next quarter will be better. They take stopgap loans at 24–36% interest. They avoid the conversation until the account is declared NPA.

Last resort , act before insolvency application
The Restructuring You Do Today Is Worth 10x More
The restructuring you do today is worth 10x the insolvency proceeding you'll try to survive in 12 months. DealPlexus gives you a restructuring plan before the NCLT gets involved , with lenders who accept it, because we know what is acceptable.
Five Services. One Integrated Turnaround.
Most restructuring advisors specialize in one piece of the problem. DealPlexus covers all five , because distress is never just a financial problem or just an operational problem. It is both, and they cannot be solved independently.
Debt Restructuring & Creditor Negotiation
For: Businesses with bank debt approaching or in NPA
“Reduce your debt burden through structured negotiation.”
We analyze your debt profile, cash flow capacity, and asset coverage to build a restructuring case lenders accept. Our advisors negotiate directly with PSU banks, private banks, and NBFCs.
Timeline
30–90 days
Outcome
Debt service coverage restored; NPA classification avoided; promoter guarantee exposure reduced.
One-Time Settlement (OTS) Negotiation
For: NPA accounts; SARFAESI proceedings; NCLT litigation
“Settle your NPA at a fraction of outstanding.”
A structured negotiation where the lender accepts a lump-sum payment below outstanding principal. Eliminates NPA status, discharges personal guarantees, and restores credit eligibility.
Timeline
60–90 days
Outcome
Account settled with full liability discharge. Credit eligibility restored.
IBC / NCLT Advisory
For: Insolvency applications; creditors seeking CIRP
“Navigate the IBC framework, defend or initiate.”
Strategic advisory during CIRP proceedings. We help you engage with the resolution professional, submit viable resolution plans, and structure management buyouts or third-party resolutions.
Timeline
Ongoing through CIRP (180–330 days)
Outcome
Preserve business continuity. Navigate resolution options with expert guidance.
Operational Turnaround
For: Viable operations with unsustainable cost structures
“Fix the business, not just the balance sheet.”
Debt restructuring without operational improvement is temporary. We combine both , identifying inefficiencies, working capital leakages, and cost structure issues that created the distress.
Timeline
3–6 months
Outcome
Sustainable operations. Restructuring that actually works long-term.
Post-Restructuring Credit Access
For: Completed restructuring or OTS; seeking fresh capital
“Restructuring is not the end. Fresh credit follows.”
... professionals. Multiple loan products. The direct pathway from completed restructuring to fresh working capital and growth capital.
Timeline
2–4 weeks
Outcome
A restructuring connected to fresh financing is worth 10x more.
Why DealPlexus Restructuring Beats Hiring a Standalone Insolvency Practitioner
The IBC Reality:
| Metric | Number |
|---|---|
| IBC cases filed annually | 20,000+ |
| Cases resolved with approved resolution plans | <20% |
| Average CIRP timeline | 180–330 days |
| Liquidation recovery (paise on rupee) | 40–60 paise |
| Voluntary restructuring success rate (pre-IBC) | Significantly higher with early action |
The Cost Comparison:
| Feature | Deloitte / Big-4 | DealPlexus |
|---|---|---|
| Restructuring engagement fee | ₹1–5 Cr | ₹40–120 Lakh |
| Delivery timeline | Several months | 2–4 weeks (initial proposal) |
| Post-restructuring credit access | Not available | Integrated |
| IBC advisory | Separate engagement | Included |
| Senior advisor access | Partner-level review only | Direct engagement |
The Integrated Advantage:
No Big-4 firm or standalone insolvency practitioner can do what DealPlexus does on a restructuring: deliver the financial analysis, lead the creditor negotiation, manage the IBC advisory if needed, complete the operational turnaround plan, and then connect the restructured business to fresh lending.
That integration is not a marketing claim. It is the structure of our business: DealPlexus is India's Financial Supermarket, and our restructuring advisory connects directly to our lending ecosystem. When we tell a creditor that DealPlexus will facilitate post-restructuring financing, we mean it , because we have the product relationships to deliver it.
Turnaround Profile:
A manufacturer in Haryana with ₹18 Cr in outstanding term debt and an SMA-2 account with two PSU banks approached DealPlexus 60 days before SARFAESI notices were expected. We delivered a restructuring proposal in 3 weeks, negotiated a debt restructuring with extended tenure and reduced interest rate, and arranged ₹4 Cr in fresh working capital within 90 days of the restructuring approval. SARFAESI proceedings were withdrawn. The business has been current on restructured payments for 18 months.
