Companies that intend to grow in an increasingly competitive business environment may need to invest in their Corporate Restructuring to reduce costs and improve their efficiency and profitability, thus achieving a greater competitive advantage in the market. Furthermore, Corporate Restructuring may also be necessary for the company to reorganize its business, improving its efficiency and seeking greater synergy to maximize efforts and achieve objectives such as: increasing market share, reducing competition, becoming a dominant force in the market, achieve gains in scale, obtain tax benefits, among others. Typically, these restructurings occur in merger and acquisition processes, with the creation of a joint venture or a strategic alliance and, of course, all these processes generally require evaluation by the competent economic regulatory body, which has the authority to approve or reject such transactions. Types of corporate restructuring: Split: Occurs when one company transfers all of its assets to another. This process can be partial, when only a part of this asset is transferred, or total, in which, as the name suggests, all assets are transferred to another company and the organization is dissolved. Merger: Two or more companies come together to create an organization. The previous ones are then extinguished and the new one assumes all the rights and obligations of those that were extinguished. Incorporation: A company is completely absorbed by another and has assets and obligations incorporated, and is then extinguished. Transformation: Occurs when the company makes a corporate change, migrating from LTDA to S.A, for example. To do this, approval from partners and shareholders is required, in accordance with what is stated in its articles of incorporation or bylaws.
