Guide for Corporate Restructuring

Introduction

Corporate restructuring is a strategic process where a company undergoes significant changes to its operations, structure, or finances. This is typically done to improve overall performance, address market challenges, enhance profitability, or streamline operations. Restructuring may involve decisions such as mergers, acquisitions, consolidations, layoffs, asset sales, or leadership changes. It is often used to improve financial health, respond to market pressures, or meet evolving regulatory requirements.
