Financial restructuring

Financial restructuring looks at reorganising the company's financial structure, with the aim of improving the value of the company and retaining the confidence of its shareholders, investors and key stakeholders.

A typical financial restructuring plan will consider:

• Whether debt can be exchanged for equity in the firm;
• Whether additional capital can be raised through a third party;
• Whether parts of the business need to be sold or wound down;
• Whether investors need to have part of their original investment returned - and the approach required to deliver this;
• Whether a Scheme of Arrangement or a Company Voluntary Arrangement (CVA) needs to take place - and how both can be delivered;
• Whether forensic accountants need to be brought in and if fraud investigations need to take place.
