Initi­al con­sul­ta­ti­on on Sta­RUG

The Sta­RUG (Unter­neh­mens­sta­bi­li­sie­rungs- und ‑restruk­tu­rie­rungs­ge­setz) pro­vi­des Ger­man com­pa­nies
with tools for pre­ven­ti­ve res­truc­tu­ring even befo­re insol­ven­cy pro­cee­dings are ope­ned.
At this stage, a rea­li­stic assess­ment of the eco­no­mic and finan­cial situa­ti­on
and of the actu­al pro­s­pects for con­ti­nuing ope­ra­ti­ons is often cru­cial.

We pro­vi­de initi­al gui­dance to help busi­ness owners and direc­tors under­stand:

The eli­gi­bi­li­ty cri­te­ria for access to res­truc­tu­ring mea­su­res.

Pos­si­ble sta­bi­li­sa­ti­on and ren­ego­tia­ti­on mea­su­res.

The role of cre­di­tors and the requi­red majo­ri­ties.

The ope­ra­tio­nal impli­ca­ti­ons for busi­ness manage­ment.

The time­frame and asso­cia­ted risks.
