Corporate Recovery is the process of ensuring owners, creditors, suppliers and employees get the best possible outcome. Depending on the degree of financial distress, Corporate Recovery could result in business rehabilitation or business liquidation. In this article, you will see the three useful services that can help you deal with your financial situation effectively and in an orderly fashion. 3 Corporate Recovery Services to Leverage in Indonesia 1. Debtor Services a. Corporate Restructuring: Informal Turnaround Corporate restructuring in the form of informal turnaround is a voluntarily negotiated agreement between creditors and the business. Unlike formal proceedings that are public to everyone and the media, this process is private and thus it is advantageous to businesses. b. Corporate Restructuring: Formal Proposal to Creditors As mentioned, formal proposals are public. Businesses can get creditor protection by filing a formal proposal. c. Business Review The business review provides a detailed analysis of an organisation’s current financial status and prospects. The review also analyses the priorities and status of both secured and unsecured creditors. A business review is the first step to a corporate recovery in Indonesia to achieve a mutual agreement between a secured lender and a company. d. Bankruptcy When there are no effective solutions for a company’s debt, the company can seek the last resort – filing for bankruptcy. Filing for bankruptcy can help prevent further losses for shareholders and creditors. 2. Creditor Services a. Appointment Monitoring During the process of a turnaround, a company can engage a professional in corporate recovery in Indonesia to act on behalf of a secured creditor by serving as a monitor.

Receivership Receivership can help protect or liquidate creditors’ assets which they hold as collateral, as well as dealing with operations and the sale of the business. e.
