For example, CSC Capital Group has made acquisitions in traditional mature industries; pioneered a corporate restructuring program that through its holistic nature is applicable for all industries, arranged credit and debt financing from large corporate banks and private investors and has set new standards for financial modeling creativity, profit center innovations and pay-for-performance packages. 

CSC Capital Group started life as a management consulting firm specializing in corporate restructuring. And while the firm has undergone several changes since its conception, several things have remained constant. Most important among these is CSC Capital Group's corporate restructuring program, the bedrock of the Firm's success. For CSC Capital Group, success in restructuring, turnarounds, consulting and investing depends not only on the deliverance of corporate change but also implementing and institutionalizing such changes into the corporate culture.

Nothing could be further from the truth. Behind the articles and testimonials is a careful, painstaking and well-customized methodology for restructuring and reorganizing corporations. And, as important, after the restructuring work is done, CSC Capital Group continues to perform its role like the old-time merchant banking advisor helping client companies realize the full potential of it's restructuring.
