The Emotional Side of Corporate Debt Restructuring

More often than not discussions of corporate debt restructuring fixate entirely on the measurable, concrete benefits gained from the process. Corporate debt restructuring will make your payments fixed and significantly more manageable. Corporate debt restructuring will improve your organization’s cash flow and allow it to expand its operations and grow to the next level within its industry. Corporate debt restructuring will eliminate the fees and charges choking your profits while improving relations with your lenders, suppliers and contractors. But the emotional benefits derived from pursuing corporate debt restructuring are arguably even more important.

Business is, at its heart, about relationships. The relationships between co-workers, the relationships between lenders and business owners, and the relationships between business owners and their company. All of these relationships are damaged when a business is loaded with more debt than it can handle. Coworkers are constantly under pressure because they believe the only way to escape their company’s financial woes is by working harder and harder and harder. The relationship between business owners and suppliers, lenders and contractors is stretched to the breaking point. After all, a loan or services rendered without upfront payment are provided on account of trust between everyone involved. Finally, a business owner stands no chance of enjoying their company and expressing their love and passion for their organization when they are saddled with a crushing debt load.

All of these relationships are healed and mended during a corporate debt restructuring. While increased cash flow is important, so is restoring the trust, love, passion, and feelings of self-worth that find themselves lost when debt becomes a monumental problem.
