The simplest definition of a Restructuring is that a Restructuring is a process for the resuscitation of a financially distressed company. It is based on the assumption of a potentially viable business.

Restructuring is a broad term that encompasses a range of circumstances. At Restructuring Works we have coined the phrase “The Restructuring Spectrum” to describe the range of situations in which a financially distressed company may find itself. The situations we describe are:

  • Underperforming;
  • Financial Distress;
  • Insolvent (Restructurable);
  • Insolvent (Liquidate).

The symptoms of each of these situations and the corresponding solutions are best seen at The Restructuring Spectrum.

A Restructuring is likely to involve the restructuring of a business at many levels to facilitate a return to viability so may involve a:

  • range of performance improvement initiatives;
  • restructuring of the business operations;
  • restructuring of the management;
  • capital reorganisation (debt or equity).

We have described in more detail the steps in a restructuring in our page The Restructuring Process.
