DEBT RESTRUCTURING
Debt restructuring is a process used by companies to avoid the risk of default on existing debt or to take advantage of lower available interest rates. Debt restructuring can be carried out by individuals on the brink of insolvency as well.
OUT OF COURT SOLUTIONS
REFINANCING | RESTRUCTURING
DEBT RESTRUCTURING is used when a borrower is under such financial distress that it prevents timely repayment on a loan. This can be accompanied by delayed trade payments and general lack of liquidity required for the business function.
DEBT REFINANCING is used on a much broader basis than restructuring, in which a borrower leverages a newly obtained loan with better terms. There are a number of alternative and specialty lenders that make this type of refinancing possible. If the problem is caught early enough, this is a solution that can help businesses get through a temporary rough period.
BANKRUPTCY AS A LAST RESORT/REMEDY Borrowers should consider the true cost of bankruptcy before engaging in either form of debt repayment strategy. An out-of-court debt restructuring or liquidation has the potential of achieving higher returns for all of the stakeholders at a lower cost. However, sometimes a bankruptcy is the only way to save a company.

CHAPTER 11 | 363 SALE
Chapter 11 is a legal process that involves reorganization of a debtor’s debts and assets. It is available to individuals, sole proprietorships, partnerships, and corporations. The reorganization allows the business to continue operations but under supervision, subject to the debtor’s fulfillment of some of his obligations. Since it is the most expensive of all bankruptcy cases, a business should do a careful analysis of all other bankruptcy alternatives before settling for Chapter 11.
A 363 Sale refers to the sale of an organization’s assets under Section 363 of the US Bankruptcy Code. The sale enables debtors to fulfill their obligations to creditors by selling their assets and using the funds collected to settle their debts.
The purchasers of the assets benefit from the opportunity to acquire valuable assets that are free of liens, claims, or other encumbrances – often at discount prices. The bankruptcy court may grant the debtor-in-possession or trustee the power to sell the organization’s assets after a court hearing of their petition.
