What Is Corporate Restructuring?
Corporate restructuring is the process of changing
or reorganising the legal, ownership, operational,
financial or business structure of an enterprise.
A company may consider restructuring when it wants
to enter a new market, separate business divisions,
bring in investors, consolidate group companies,
transfer an undertaking, improve operational
efficiency, create a holding structure or prepare
for a merger or acquisition.
The appropriate structure depends on the company's
objectives, ownership, assets, liabilities,
contracts, tax position, regulatory environment,
financing arrangements and applicable law.
Restructuring Is More Than Changing a Company Name
A properly planned restructuring can involve
ownership, business divisions, assets,
liabilities, management, investment, financing,
intellectual property, contracts and regulatory
compliance.
