Debt Restructuring for Small Businesses

DEBT RESTRUCTURING FOR SMALL BUSINESSES

There is a huge difference between the net value after liquidation and the value of equipment within an ongoing business with a good lease and a good operator with a business plan.

The liquidation price below is the price the liquidator might get but then you have to take out moving, storage, and selling costs, and liquidators fee.
Net Liquidated value might be as little as $20,000

People need to keep in mind how little is recovered in liquidation so deals should be negotiated knowing that liquidation really is not in anyone’s interest.

Debt restructuring is the process by which a debtor (usually a small business) and its creditors renegotiate the terms of the debt. The principal amount outstanding may be lowered, the repayment time may be extended, or the interest rate may be changed. Making debt obligations more bearable is the aim of debt restructuring, which aids the debtor in regaining financial stability.
