Restructuring

The core value of Eight Advisory that defines me the most

Entrepreneurship

Entrepreneurship: an entrepreneur at the service of entrepreneurs!


After 20 years of training and experience with American companies, it was time to go out on our own as French and continental European entrepreneurs. All this makes us unique in our ability to advise our clients by combining our analytical, organisational and decision-making skills in the best interests of the companies (entrepreneurial, labour and creditor interests). The challenge is to achieve the optimal balance between all these divergent but complementary interests.
