As Trustees & Receivers we are often involved in corporate restructuring, a process which many clients find confusing.

We know there is confusion about the meaning of the terminology, the roles played by the various stakeholders and professionals, and the difference between a restructuring business plan and the Proposal. I’ll attempt to demystify it for you.

What is corporate restructuring

Corporate restructuring is a strategy to move from financial harm and return to a financially viable state.

When to consider restructuring

When a company is having trouble making payments on its debt and this situation is one that may lead to the company’s collapse, corporate restructuring should be considered.

Corporate restructuring increases a business’ efficiency – reducing costs, increasing profits – and therefore avoiding closure.

When is a company eligible for restructuring

There is a general principle we use in determining if a business is a good candidate for financial restructuring. It is that they must have a core business that is viable. First they must shed themselves of their debt which is weighing them down. They must also develop a business plan and model that will be profitable. Then they will be able to continue to run.

When should you contact a trustee?

If your company is experiencing serious financial difficulties, the sooner you contact a trustee, the better.
