ACES Capital | Specialized in Critical Situations, Soft Landings Corporate Shutdowns
Specialized in Critical Situations, Soft Landings Corporate Shutdowns
We work with companies facing severe financial distress, overdue liabilities, strained creditor relationships, and exposure to legal recovery proceedings—whether in out-of-court restructuring, judicial reorganization, or voluntary wind-down.
For Business Owners, we act when losses become recurring, leverage is excessive, capital is depleted, and operations are below capacity. We deploy senior interim management teams to stabilize the crisis and shield executives from negotiating fatigue. When necessary, we conduct a full legal wind-down — the Corporate Shutdown.
For Creditors and Investors, when credit recovery options appear limited, we create structured asset liquidation plans to maximize returns and ensure transparency throughout the recovery process.
For Court-Appointed Trustees or Judicial Administrators, we provide solutions in cases where procedural and operational compliance has collapsed. We coordinate financial and legal teams to restore reliable, court-compliant information flow.

Corporate Crisis Signs, Companies in Judicial and Extrajudicial Recovery, Corporate Insolvency, Corporate Shutdown
Warning Signs Your Company Is in Crisis and Needs an Urgent Solution.
Elevated Corporate Debt, Judicial Asset Freeze, and Risks to Shareholders.
Turnaround
Turnaround seeks to protect and revitalize a historically performing business unit which consistently generates positive net operational income. By isolating the healthy business from underperforming areas, we aim to strengthen its foundation and growth.
To revitalize the business, an operational restructuring is implemented. This involves cost-cutting measures, reviewing and improving processes, raising capital, and changing the leadership. These measures bring stability and broaden managerial expertise, positioning the business for renewed success.
The Turnaround approach requires deploying full financial power and managerial resources to restore performance. The goal is to regain lost revenues, review mission-critical processes, address short-term challenges, and drive the business toward creating long-term value.
Management teams are experienced and trained to maintain a Turnaround mindset during the process. This means they are prepared to effectively solve mission-critical problems, ensuring the business remains resilient and adaptable during periods of crisis.
Soft Landing
Soft Landing is a process of interposing a long period of time between the beginning of restructuring activities with risk mitigation and the final wind-down of the enterprise. This interval can be up to 24 months.
During this period, we can dehydrate the operational structure, creating time to negotiate selected liabilities and mitigate reputational risks, adjust the corporate structure, and complete the wind-down of the enterprise.
Corporate Shutdown
Corporate Shutdown is the organized winding down of the company's activities at the lowest possible cost, using the legal tools available under Brazilian law.
Risk-Mitigation measures are normally implemented after all alternatives have been exhausted followed by an orderly shutdown of all activities at the lowest possible cost, leveraging Brazil's insolvency Law.
