Business and Real Estate Restructuring Consulting
What does a restructuring consultant do?
Business restructuring experts devise a strategy that is both favorable to the company and its creditors. For instance, the consultant could propose the idea of informal debt repayment or equity swap. From restructuring to recovery
When economic conditions change, organizations may be forced to respond to liquidity constraints and operational challenges with a restructuring or even a bankruptcy filing. This will likely be a first-time event for the organization, and its leaders will seek a way to help it recover and thrive. They will need a trusted advisor who understands their business and can provide the options along with the pros and cons of each.
Organizations across the globe are facing an unprecedented array of challenges. These threats come in many forms whether they be weakened balance sheets, uncertainty over COVID-19 recovery curves, challenges of operating in a virtual environment, macroeconomic or geopolitical changes, competitor innovation or changing stakeholder expectations.

What Is Restructuring?
Restructuring is an action taken by a company to significantly modify the financial and operational aspects of the company, usually when the business is facing financial pressures. Restructuring is a type of corporate action taken that involves significantly modifying the debt, operations, or structure of a company as a way of limiting financial harm and improving the business.
When a company is having difficulties with making the payments on its debt, it will often consolidate and adjust the terms of the debt in a debt restructuring, creating a way to pay off bondholders. A company can also restructure its operations or structure by cutting costs, such as payroll, or reducing its size through the sale of assets.
Understanding Restructuring
There are numerous reasons why companies might restructure, including deteriorating financial fundamentals, poor earnings performance, lackluster revenue from sales, excessive debt, and the company is no longer competitive, or too much competition exists in the industry.
A company may restructure as a means of preparing for a sale, buyout, merger, change in overall goals, or transfer to a relative. For example, a company might choose to restructure after it fails to successfully launch a new product or service, which then leaves it in a position where it cannot generate enough revenue to cover payroll and its debt payments.
As a result, depending on agreement by shareholders and creditors, the company may sell its assets, restructure its financial arrangements, issue equity to reduce debt, or file for bankruptcy as the business maintains operations.
Restructuring Process
When a company restructures internally, the operations, processes, departments, or ownership may change, enabling the business to become more integrated and profitable. Financial and legal advisors are often hired for negotiating restructuring plans. Parts of the company may be sold to investors, and a new chief executive officer (CEO) may be hired to help implement the changes.
The results may include alterations in procedures, computer systems, networks, locations, and legal issues. Because positions may overlap, jobs may be eliminated, and employees laid off.
A company undertakes a restructuring to modify the financial or operational aspect of its business, usually when faced with a financial crisis.
Restructuring can be a tumultuous, painful process as the internal and external structure of a company is adjusted and jobs are cut. But once it is completed, restructuring should result in smoother, more economically sound business operations.
