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.
