Filing for insolvency is often the last chance to stabilize the company or to wind it up in an orderly manner. The decision between self-administration and regular insolvency is crucial for the continued existence of the company. Our business management advice will help you choose the best steps to maximize your room for manoeuvre and strategically shape the process. <\/p>\n

Out-of-court vs. court proceedings:<\/h3>\n

If economic difficulties are identified at an early stage, an out-of-court procedure with experienced management consultants and auditors should be the method of choice. We can support you in this with a competent and experienced team.

\nAlternatively, there are two judicial options: the StaRUG and judicial insolvency proceedings. We will be happy to explain the details and options in detail. In the majority of cases, the StaRUG will probably not open up any meaningful application options. Insolvency proceedings under self-administration could then be an option.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”50px||50px||true|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.22.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” header_font=”opensans||||||||” header_font_size=”16px” header_2_font=”opensans|500||on|||||” header_2_font_size=”38px” header_2_line_height=”1.3em” header_3_font=”opensans|500||on|||||” header_3_font_size=”38px” header_3_line_height=”1.3em” custom_margin=”||||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||||false|false” header_2_font_size_tablet=”46px” header_2_font_size_phone=”26px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” header_3_font_size_tablet=”38px” header_3_font_size_phone=”25px” header_3_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

When does self-administration make sense?<\/h3>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”opensans|300|||||||” text_font_size=”16px” text_line_height=”2em” header_font=”opensans||||||||” header_font_size=”16px” header_2_font=”opensans|500||on|||||” header_2_font_size=”60px” header_2_line_height=”1.3em” width=”88%” width_tablet=”88%” width_phone=”100%” width_last_edited=”on|phone” custom_margin=”||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Self-administration<\/strong> offers you, as the company management, the opportunity to continue running the business during the insolvency proceedings instead of placing it in the hands of an insolvency administrator. This means that you retain control of your company while implementing restructuring measures together with a trustee and under court supervision. This option is particularly useful if a viable restructuring plan is already in place and there is a good chance of preserving the company. <\/p>\n

When is the standard procedure the better way?<\/h3>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”opensans|300|||||||” text_font_size=”16px” text_line_height=”2em” header_font=”opensans||||||||” header_font_size=”16px” header_2_font=”opensans|500||on|||||” header_2_font_size=”60px” header_2_line_height=”1.3em” width=”88%” width_tablet=”88%” width_phone=”100%” width_last_edited=”on|phone” custom_margin=”||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]In contrast to self-administration, there are standard insolvency proceedings<\/strong> in which an external insolvency administrator takes control of the company. This procedure offers a clear separation between management and insolvency administration, which is more suitable in some cases, particularly if there is no prospect of restructuring or the crisis situation is too serious. The insolvency administrator liquidates the company’s assets in order to satisfy the creditors as best as possible.
\n 
\nSections \u00a7\u00a7 270 et seq. InsO have already regulated two alternative opening proceedings since the ESUG reform, provisional self-administration (now section \u00a7 270b) and the protective shield (now section \u00a7 270d). In contrast to the restructuring framework of the StaRUG, these are (provisional) insolvency proceedings.
\n 
\na) Protective shield<\/strong>
\nThe so-called protective shield in section \u00a7 270d InsO provides for a restructuring-oriented modification of the provisional self-administration proceedings. The debtor, possibly represented by its executive bodies, is granted a largely binding right of proposal with regard to the provisional administrator to be appointed (section \u00a7 270d (2) InsO). The proceedings have a positive external effect, as many parties involved and the public assume that these are primarily restructuring proceedings and not insolvency proceedings.
\n 
\nb) Provisional self-administration<\/strong>
\nThe ordering of provisional self-administration is regulated in section \u00a7 270b InsO. It requires the debtor to have submitted the documents and presentations specified in section \u00a7 270a InsO and to have made the required declarations. Compared to the previous law, the requirements that the debtor must fulfill are more extensive, which consequently also leads to greater examination requirements for the insolvency court. Section \u00a7 270c InsO contains further procedural regulations. This provision deals in particular with the obligations of the debtor and the provisional administrator, insofar as the latter has been appointed by the insolvency court.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”50px||50px||true|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.22.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” header_font=”opensans||||||||” header_font_size=”16px” header_2_font=”opensans|500||on|||||” header_2_font_size=”38px” header_2_line_height=”1.3em” header_3_font=”opensans|500||on|||||” header_3_font_size=”38px” header_3_line_height=”1.3em” custom_margin=”||||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||||false|false” header_2_font_size_tablet=”46px” header_2_font_size_phone=”26px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” header_3_font_size_tablet=”38px” header_3_font_size_phone=”25px” header_3_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
