Background of the Study
Corporate restructuring has become a critical approach for reviving failing businesses and positioning them for improved performance. It involves comprehensive changes to the structure, strategy, operations, or financial management of a company to restore profitability and long-term viability (Olowe & Aliyu, 2023).
In Sokoto State, several companies face challenges such as declining revenue, inefficiencies, and poor management practices. These issues are further compounded by economic volatility, limited access to capital, and intense competition (Bello & Yusuf, 2024). Corporate restructuring provides a viable pathway for such organizations to improve operational efficiency, reduce costs, and regain market share.
This study examines the impact of corporate restructuring on business turnaround in failing companies in Sokoto State, highlighting key strategies that have proven effective.
Statement of the Problem
The rate of business failure in Sokoto State has been on the rise due to factors such as poor governance, weak financial management, and external market shocks. While corporate restructuring has been recognized as a solution, its adoption remains limited, with many companies unable to execute effective turnaround strategies (Abdulkadir et al., 2025).
Existing literature on corporate restructuring primarily focuses on global or national contexts, leaving a research gap in understanding how restructuring strategies affect failing companies at the state level. This study seeks to fill this gap by exploring corporate restructuring practices in Sokoto State and their influence on business recovery.
