Frequently Asked Questions

A corporate restructure is when a company’s management, its assets/finances and operations are streamlined and re-arranged to improve performance and develop the productivity and profitability of the organisation.

A corporate restructure can benefit in several examples include:

  • Reducing costs
  • Increasing productivity
  • Providing a competitive advantage
  • Opening opportunities for mergers and acquisitions
  • Improving clarity and communication within the business
  • Aiding succession planning for the future of the business

Delivering the right outcomes for all is important but can sometimes be difficult when changes need to be made. With expert advice, transparency, adaptability and open communication with employees an organisation can help its people be part of a successful transition.

During a restructure there may be many changes to the roles of employees as management and departments are re-organised. Making sure employees feel supported in any development needed for new roles is key, and maintaining clear communication and trust within the organisation is crucial.

A demerger is when a business is broken into two or more components. This can be for a variety of reasons such as to raise capital or to focus on core business lines.
