Schemes of Arrangement

In an ideal scenario, businesses can reorganize themselves through voluntary agreements and re-negotiations with creditors. When this is not possible, schemes of arrangements can be used as an independent process to maintain business and continue trading.

Schemes of arrangement allow for financially challenged businesses to use legally binding structures to reduce their debt burden to long-term sustainable levels. Schemes of arrangement are undertaken through negotiated agreements with creditors and are a proven cost-effective means of reorganizing businesses.
