Performance-Leap provides services for the distressed assets - patients as we call them - that are held by private equity funds, banks and other investors. Typically these distressed assets and investments have already had management replaced, interim managers attempted a turnaround, and consultants have left their reports, yet the results remain poor. This is where Performance-Leap inserts a complete new management team - made up of Performance-Leap partners - to manage the day to day business while they deploy the HIT™ (High Impact Turnaround) methodology.

The combination of first class management resources, the techniques and disciplines from consulting and a true 'no cure no pay' reward structure is a unique service that Performance-Leap offers the investor community and owners of poorly performing assets. At the point where Performance-Leap engages with investors of a business, most of these patient's cash reserves have been depleted so Performance-Leap is paid as a minority stakeholder of shares and manages a business until it once again becomes profitable and valuable for the investors. Once achieved, Performance -Leap withdraws from the business.
