Frequently Asked Questions
By combining the company with another more profitable business, or by selling certain parts of the business, capital can be raised and debts cleared as part of the business turnaround.
Insolvent and financially distressed companies are frequently bought by turn-around specialists or other interested parties looking for a quick transaction, helping to avoid insolvency and clear or manage outstanding debts.
By replacing an existing debt obligation with another, more favourable terms can be agreed such as a better interest rate, reduced monthly payments or consolidation of debts into a sole payment.
A company can reduce its shareholder equity by cancelling its shares to increase shareholder value. This will produce a more efficient capital structure, reduce liability and eliminate losses. Capital reductions apply to all shareholders.
A share buyback scheme can involve just one shareholder or many, but the result is the same in helping the business to reduce its cost of capital, consolidate ownership, and release profits to help with clearing debts.
A company can save a significant amount of money by offering shares to existing shareholders at a reduced rate.
During an acquisition, the takeover company offers its own shares, at an agreed price, in exchange for the shares in the company it is looking to acquire.
Forming a group company structure can help protect a business against commercial and financial risk. A subsidiary company can ring-fence assets or liabilities, therefore protecting others in the group. It can also help with any future sale of one or more parts of the business, allowing some of the company to be retained.
A company can have as many share classes as it likes and usually introduces others when a new party wishes to invest in the company.
