Restructuring can be financial, for example changing the debt/equity ratio, or operational, as in the case of closing down unprofitable facilities. Equity Vision is able to assist with both of these activities, and in the case of a business turnaround both of these approaches are usually required.

Although restructuring is common in companies that are in financial difficulties, many other companies can benefit from the same approach if their resources are not already deployed in the optimal manner. This does not always lead to downsizing: on the contrary, it can often result in talent being better deployed.
