What is Required for a Successful Creditor Compromise?
When it comes to a creditor compromise, it is important for both sides to come together either formally or informally to take a closer look at all the paths available to find a compromise that will leave everyone satisfied. Here are some tips to help this be successful:
– Clear Communication: It is vital to have clear lines of communication when you are coming into a compromising agreement. Both sides need to be clear about what their expectations are. Everyone needs to clearly state their goals are so that the process can move forward. A clear understanding of the debts as well as the assets as well as what can be paid at the time is all important and helpful information for both sides to understand and know.
– Bring Detailed Paperwork: Along with communication, there should be detailed paperwork that shows the financial reporting for the business. It needs to be thorough and show not only the assets but also should show the cash flow, profit, loss statements, bank statements and invoices.
– Legal Advice is Needed: As you work to come up with a creditor compromise that will be accepted, you are more than likely going to want a legal eye on things. Within the law community there are insolvency specialists that can help you come up with a sound compromise that is more likely to successfully be accepted.
– Involve Everyone in the Case: When you are coming up with a compromise with creditors, you need to include all of the parties that are owed money. There is usually more than one party that will be involved and all of them will hold a meeting and decide whether or not to move forward with the compromise.
– Show Good Faith: Coming up with a compromise with creditors is a way to allow a business to show good faith in saying they will turn things around and be able to pay their debts. These creditors will more than likely get their money one way or another as the funds become available. Instead, they are working together to come up with conditions that allows the business to pay debts under these new parameters.
