Financial Restructuring Process

1. Situation Analysis and Evaluation

The first step of the financial restructuring process is to analyze the company's current financial situation in detail. At this stage, the company's balance sheet structure, cash flows, profitability status and debt profile are examined. In addition, the sector dynamics and market conditions in which the company operates are also evaluated.

2. Determining the Restructuring Strategy

After the situation analysis, the most appropriate restructuring strategy for the company's needs is determined. This strategy is created by considering the company's short and long-term goals, available resources and market opportunities.

3. Negotiation with Creditors

After the preparation of the restructuring plan, the negotiation process with creditors begins. In this process, the company's current situation is shared transparently and the benefits of the restructuring proposal are explained.

4. Legal Documentation

Legal documentation of the agreements reached as a result of negotiations is made. At this stage, the rights and obligations of all parties are clearly determined and legally secured.

5. Implementation and Monitoring

After the restructuring agreement is signed, the implementation process begins. In this process, compliance with the agreement conditions is closely monitored and corrective measures are taken when necessary.
