We have the lowest number of insolvency cases in the last 10 years - and apparently that's good news. But, over the same time interval, we also have, according to studies, the highest number of companies in distress or even in undeclared insolvency. There’s constant talk that undeclared insolvencies are even more dangerous to the economy, and even to the entrepreneur, than the declared ones.

Why do entrepreneurs not call on a specialist to deal with the distress, and what does dealing with distress mean?

We invite you to find the answers to these questions, from the best specialists in the field: restructuration experts, financial analysts, lawyers, magistrates, psychologists, or crisis communication consultants.

What will we be discussing?
• Why are there so many unhealthy “healthy” companies?
• What are the blockages that stop entrepreneurs from using remedies for periods of distress?
• What is going on in the mind of an entrepreneur in distress?
• How do we communicate internally and externally in distress situations?
• How can we finance a company in distress?
• Case and test studies.
• Special legal elements in insolvency and insolvency prevention procedures.
