Corporate
Restructuring

Corporate restructuring is the process of reorganising a company’s structure or operations to make it stronger, more efficient and better positioned for future growth. Businesses typically consider restructuring to reduce costs, improve cash flow, focus on core strengths or adapt to new market opportunities. From a corporate registration and licensing standpoint, restructuring refers to reorganising the legal and regulatory framework of a company to ensure it is aligned with business objectives and compliant with the applicable jurisdiction’s requirements. The goal of restructuring at this level is to ensure that the company’s registration, licensing and compliance obligations are properly adjusted to support strategic decisions, facilitate new opportunities and mitigate regulatory risks.

Our Corporate Restructuring Services include:

Amending License Amending the company’s license to expand or refine permitted activities
Shifting Jurisdictions Shifting jurisdictions for regulatory, tax, or business advantages
Mergers & Demergers Mergers or demergers of entities, updating constitutional documents & approvals
Updating Ownership Updating ownership structures in official records for shareholders & directors

Changing the legal form of the entity
We assist with converting a company’s legal form - for example, changing from a Limited Liability Company (LLC) into a Holding Company which allows the business to better align with strategic goals, such as centralizing ownership of multiple subsidiaries, improving governance or enhancing investment appeal.
Amending the company’s license to expand or refine the scope of permitted activities
As businesses evolve, the activities listed on their original trade or commercial license may no longer reflect their actual operations. Amending the license enables the company to expand into new business areas, refine its scope of services or stay compliant with updated regulatory frameworks.
Shifting Jurisdictions
Our expert restructuring services include re-domiciling, migrating or setting up a new entity in a jurisdiction that offers more favorable conditions such as tax benefits, stronger legal protections or easier access to international markets. This step can enhance competitiveness and provide long-term advantages for global operations.
Mergers or Demergers
When companies merge or split, legal restructuring is required to consolidate or separate assets, liabilities and operations. Our comprehensive services include assistance with the process of updating constitutional documents, securing regulatory approvals and ensuring the new structure is legally recognized. It enables businesses to scale, diversify and focus on core strengths.
Updating Ownership Structures
Corporate restructuring often involves changes in shareholding or management. We undertake updating official records to reflect new shareholders, directors or ultimate beneficial owners (UBOs) is essential for compliance with corporate registries and regulators. This ensures transparency, maintains good standing, and avoids penalties.
