Business Reorganisation

Whether you are growing your business or downsizing, this will inevitably result in changes to the way that the company is structured.

Restructuring Your Company

Company restructuring covers two broad areas:

Restructuring the share capital and ownership of the company
Restructuring the directors and management of the company

Often shareholders (or ‘members’) and directors within a company will be the same person, but the processes of changing these are very different, and have different implications and considerations.

Ownership Of The Company

We can assist in the following areas of share ownership:

Share issues and allotments
Share buy-backs
Buying and selling shares
Share swaps
Charging shares
Preference or redeemable shares
Transfer and reclassification of shares
Dividends

Management Of The Company

We can assist in the following areas of company management restructuring:

Appointment of directors
Resignation of directors
Director’s service contracts
Restructuring and redrafting Articles of Association
General corporate governance and company secretariat advice

For companies looking to grow, we can also advise on financing by share issues or debt finance (equity or debt finance), including debentures and charges and providing the required legal framework for loan security.
