About this title

Synopsis

Excessive corporate debt can lead to financial distress, which prevents a business from realizing its full potential. When this occurs, a company transforms into a “zombie,” incapable of making essential investments for its future growth or attracting the resources required to execute its business strategy effectively.

In this book, the restructuring veteran Mike Harmon provides an indispensable go-to guide tailored for executives, business owners, boards of directors, creditors, advisors, and investors grappling with financial distress. He equips stakeholders with an invaluable tool kit for mending a company’s fractured balance sheet while demystifying complex techniques and explaining restructuring methods in an accessible fashion.

Readers will acquire the skills needed to detect early warning signs of distress and to formulate a financial restructuring plan that reduces the risk of future trouble. They will learn how an effective plan optimizes the objectives of a company’s various stakeholders, its ability to service future financial obligations, its legal and contractual constraints, and its future prospects and business strategy.

Written for both current and aspiring practitioners, The Financial Restructuring Tool Set is not just a survival guide―it is a blueprint for transformation, empowering stakeholders to achieve a brighter, more prosperous future.
