What we do

After the Covid crisis, drawing on his experience as an entrepreneur in expansion, Renaud Tasset was asked to help companies in difficulty: restructuring, optimisation, turnaround. That momentum gave birth to Atare's consulting business. A turnaround is won in the field, in the figures and with the teams.

In detail

What the service includes

Rapid diagnosis

Cash, margins, order book, production, teams: in a few days, an honest view of the situation.

Turnaround plan

Short-term actions to hold on, deeper actions to move forward again. Costed, dated, shared.

Change management

Reorganisation, supplier renegotiation, refocusing of the offer, disposals: carried out on site, with the teams.

Interim management

If the manager is missing, Atare takes the position for as long as it takes.

Support for the owner

Someone who has run companies himself, so decisions come fast and in the right order.

Return to performance

Simple indicators tracked every week, until the company stands on its own again.

Method

How it works

Diagnosis

A few days, on site. The figures and the shop floor.

Plan

What we stop, what we keep, what we launch. In what order.

Execution

On site, with the teams, week after week.

Exit

The company is running, the owner has taken back control, the tools stay.

What we believe

This assignment can be a one-off or run over the long term, invoiced independently or through direct integration into your company.

Case studies

What we have done recently

Asian restaurant · France

Turning around a struggling restaurant

Renegotiation of fixed costsProfitability auditMenu redesignOperational turnaround

The context

An Asian speciality restaurant in real difficulty: fixed costs that had not been renegotiated for years — energy, insurance, banking contracts — and a menu whose margins nobody had recalculated.

What we did

All purchasing was reviewed and fixed costs renegotiated with suppliers. The menu margins were analysed and compared with sector standards: they were not holding up. A specialist chef came in to rebuild the menu entirely, dish by dish, in line with the target profitability.

Masonry · France

Restructuring a company that was busy but earning nothing

Subcontracting auditFinancing & investmentIn-house recruitmentPricing policy

The context

A masonry company with a healthy order book, but making no money: subcontracting that was thought to be cheap but in fact cost a great deal, and selling prices that were too low.

What we did

An audit of the use of subcontracting and equipment rental, preparation of business plans and securing of the financing needed to invest in the company's own equipment and to hire staff in-house — cutting external costs. Support on pricing policy to sell at the right price.
