| These businesses
are fundamentally sound and profitable.Even a well run
business, however, faces unforeseen obstacles such as
delayed delivery of raw materials, reduction of bank
credit, or a weather related decline in sales. Confronted
with setbacks from such problems, large companies turn
to an army of internal specialists, who often negotiate
highly favorable settlements with creditors - settlements
which enable the creditors to get paid and the company
to operate debt-free. On the creditor's side, there
are accounts receivable specialists, lawyers, collection
agencies, and others eager to assist in collecting debts.
That leaves small to medium size businesses as the only
ones without someone to assist them in debt restructuring.
Yet it is these businesses which most often need this
kind of assistance. |
