SELLING A FIRM FACING BANKRUPTCY
Moderated
(from the transactional point of view)
by Mgr. Jitka Smith, J.D., and
(from the perspective of insolvency law)
by JUDr. Pavel Kolesár
One of the most popular questions in the market today is how can a company be rescued when signals first appear of its impending bankruptcy. Many companies react to their problems far too late, taking the threat of failure seriously only when the chance of avoiding it is slim to none. This fundamental mistake can lead to bankruptcy proceedings being declared against a company which could have otherwise remained in business—if it had taken the right steps at the right time—and all as a result of underestimating the dangers posed under Czech insolvency law.
Depending on the circumstances, addressing a potential financial or strategic investor can be one of the solutions for a company facing bankruptcy. However, any investor willing to enter the company would do so only when it is possible to achieve its healthy recovery and further expand of its commercial activity. This type of investor would be interested in a firm that falls into his strategic portfolio of companies or one that complements the enterprises in which he has already invested and gives him the chance to expand into new markets. In this situation, an investor would be willing to accept the challenges should success be possible, even when there is a high level of risk.
