Spanish term (edited):
curar un negocio
Selected
(Arg.) turn around a business
The text quoted doesn't actually refer to una compañía, but negocios that in Spain mean shops, otherwise partnerships or sole (BrE) trades/ (AmE) proprietorships.
Cure as a translation in this case shoud be avoided as coincides with the continuing 'revival' of interest in the British pop & rock group called the Cure.

heal
I believe it's a metaphor, referring to them as if they were "ill".

restructuring of a company
I agree the source term in Spanish is a metaphor for healing but it is not normal to talk about healing a company in English. At least, I couldn't find a single hit in Google for healing a company here in the UK.
Restructuring is the corporate management term for the act of reorganizing the legal, ownership, operational, or other structures of a company for the purpose of making it more profitable, or better organized for its present needs. Other reasons for restructuring include a change of ownership or ownership structure, demerger, or a response to a crisis or major change in the business such as bankruptcy, repositioning, or buyout. Restructuring may also be described as corporate restructuring, debt restructuring and financial restructuring.

Sergio Kot
: You may want to try googleing "healing a business". There are precise Spanish equivalents to both "restructuring" and "company". Coming from Argentina, "negocios" definitely means either shops or business.

fix or revive them
You also talk about reviving a business. So, this too I believe would be a possible alternative.
