corporate structuring plan

SUMMARY

The Wexted Corporate Structuring Plan provides a strategic review and redesign of a company’s operational and corporate structure to support financial stability, governance clarity and long-term recovery — tailored for both large group structures and single entities. It focuses on identifying and addressing structural inefficiencies that may be impeding cashflow, decision-making or stakeholder confidence. This service is particularly valuable where complexity — whether operational, legal or financial — has developed over time and now constrains recovery. By aligning structure with strategy, the Corporate Structuring Plan supports the broader Safe Harbour objective of delivering a better outcome.

BENEFITS

  • Removes structural impediments to liquidity and clarity
  • Simplifies reporting and governance
  • Supports operational measures that feed into the Better Outcome assessment

TYPICAL PROCESS

  • Map the current legal and operational entity structure and cash flows
  • Identify non-core or loss-making entities, intercompany exposures and inefficiencies
  • Develop options for consolidation, divestment or reallocation of assets/liabilities
  • Assess tax, regulatory and contractual consequences (legal/tax advice co-ordinated)
  • Prepare implementation steps (timing, approvals, stakeholder communications)

 

TYPICAL OUTPUTS

  • Corporate Structuring Plan (option analysis + recommended structure)
  • Implementation roadmap with governance checkpoints
  • Draft documentation / transaction templates (as required) for execution

Scope and Complexity

Wexted scales the analysis to reflect the operational and stakeholder complexity of the business. Documentation of material or lack of said documentation will also impact actions and timings. For smaller businesses, the Corporate Structuring Plan may focus on cost optimisation, contract rationalisation and simplified governance. For complex corporate groups, it may involve multi-entity restructuring, intercompany funding redesign, asset separations or coordinated divestments.
