What is loan restructuring?
Loan restructuring is changing loan terms to make repayment manageable. It can include extending the repayment period, adjusting the repayment schedule, or combining loans into one plan.
When restructuring makes sense
- Monthly repayments are too high for current income
- Business cash flow changed and needs a new schedule
- Multiple loans cause missed dates and penalties
- You want to avoid default and protect your credit profile
Quick tip: Act early. When you restructure before default, you usually get
better options.
