Corporate Debt Restructuring and Refinancing Strategies

When cash flow tightens, the difference between survival and business rescue often lies in how early and how skilfully a company approaches its lenders. This programme covers the full toolkit of debt restructuring and refinancing, from covenant renegotiation and term extensions to refinancing and standstill agreements. Delegates work through African case studies and build the analysis and lender engagement skills that restructuring demands.

What you will be able to do

  • Assess a company debt profile, maturity ladder and covenant position.
  • Diagnose early warning signs of financial distress and covenant breach.
  • Structure refinancing, term extension and standstill arrangements.
  • Negotiate revised covenants and security packages with lenders.
  • Model the cash flow impact of alternative restructuring options.
  • Prepare a lender information pack that builds confidence and credibility.
