Insolvency And Restructuring

Abstract

During a crisis period, many businesses become insolvent. Insolvency implies closing down a company through bankruptcy or reorganizing that company. In our present economical situation, closing down a business is totally disadvantageous. Because of the low demand on the market the firm's assets will be sold at a low price. Reorganizing implies approving of a plan, which offers a series of advantages to the creditors: the rescheduling of debts, the suspending of all judiciary actions, re-planning of activities, renegotiation of ongoing contracts, re-dimensioning of costs. After the period of maximum three years the company has a chance to become viable.
