Do I Need To Restructure My Company?
Presented By: BDO USA LLP
There’s little question that navigating the ups and downs of economic cycles—combined with a dash of the unknown—makes it that much more important to understand the state of your company. But do you know whether your company is in good shape, or in need of a restructuring? Most people do not. Join a roundtable discussion among senior executives, investors, and veteran M&A advisors as they share their thoughts on how to analyze your company’s people, operations, and finances to understand if you need to restructure.
Following a 40-minute panel discussion you will have the opportunity to meet the speakers and ask questions during a 20-minute video Q&A session.
