Background and objectives mission

An industrial ETI (sales €40 million, 200 employees) was faced with a drop in activity, a bank debt that had reached maturity and cash flow tensions leading to payment delays. In a state of suspension of payments, the company had to preserve its business continuity, protect jobs and negotiate a restructuring plan with its creditors.

approach adopted

We carried out a rapid diagnosis of the situation, prepared the procedure file and accompanied the manager before the Court. Once the proceedings had been opened, we secured critical flows, dialogued with the procedural bodies and drew up a nine-year business plan including a smoothed repayment schedule and operational restructuring measures.

Benefits obtained

The intervention made it possible to :

  • Stabilize cash flow from the outset of the procedure (freezing of previous liabilities)
  • Ensure the continuation of the business and maintenance of 95% of jobs
  • Adopt a 9-year recovery plan with an 18-month grace period and an 80% repayment rate on bank and supplier liabilities.
  • Restoring the trust of strategic customers and business partners
  • Enable the manager to retain control of the company while benefiting from a secure framework
