Restructuring a company involves changing one or more aspects of a company.
Corporate restructuring can be an entirely flexible concept. The restructuring that a company undergoes, depends on the needs of that company and the wider performance of the market.
Any restructuring by a company is often perceived to imply that a company is going through a challenging financial situation and sometimes this is the case. However, consideration to restructuring a company should also be considered when a company is doing well and looking to grow.
