| | steps/actions/measures to improve their balance sheets | Explanation:
A bit more (well, a lot more) context would assist in choosing the proper wording but that is the general idea. Companies are paying off debt, increasing equity etc. in order to make their balance sheets look better. In turn, that makes them better candidates for obtaining loans.
So there are several ways you can phrase that starting with your choice for Maßnahmen (I prefer actions) and then the choice of verb for what they are trying to do to thier balance sheet - improve, clean up, strengthen, etc. |
