Our role: Structure provider, implementer, sparring partner

starkpartners supports companies, shareholders and management in the preparation and implementation of restructuring measures within the framework of self-administration – professionally, proactively and with a clear focus on the implementation of a viable continuation concept.

As an experienced partner in restructuring and special situations, we support medium-sized companies throughout the DACH region through the special requirements of self-administration proceedings – both in court proceedings (§ 270a/b InsO) and in advance via the preventive restructuring framework (StaRUG).

Self-administration offers the opportunity to retain operational responsibility and still access the restructuring effects of the Insolvency Code. To make this work, you need a clearly structured process, legally compliant planning and professional project management.

starkpartners takes over for you:

• Project control & process coordination across all participants

• Relief of management in preparation, documentation and implementation

• Development and support of the restructuring concept & action program

• Close coordination with legal advisors, administrator, creditors' committee, banks and workforce

• Creation and maintenance of the integrated restructuring and continuation planning

• Communication with stakeholders, in particular financing partners, customers and suppliers

• Operational support of cash flow planning, securing liquidity and continuation of business operations

Restructuring under your own management – with experienced partners at your side

Self-administration is not a sure-fire success – it requires clear preparation, experienced management and reliable decision-making bases. We create the conditions for trust, transparency and solution-oriented communication with all parties involved.

The support of self-administration proceedings requires a well-coordinated interaction between business, strategic and legal expertise. Therefore, we always work in close coordination with experienced restructuring lawyers and specialized law firms that specialize in insolvency law, restructuring proceedings and corporate restructuring.

Our role as operative and financial process managers ideally complements the legal expertise of our partners – for a process that is factually prepared, legally secured and substantively reliable.

Whether preventive restructuring, protective shield or self-administration: We operate embedded in a strong network of renowned law firms and recognized administrator structures that has proven itself many times over.

Our consulting approach in self-administration:

  • Assessment of the economic starting position and the restructuring capability
  • Decision template on the suitability of self-administration (vs. standard procedure)
  • Preparation of the application in cooperation with the legal advisors
    Preparation of the Restructuring plan including financial planning
  • Coordination with proposed administrator and potential stakeholders
  • Establishment of a procedure controlling
  • Support of the management in implementation and reporting
  • Communication with court, administrator and creditors
  • Implementation of operational and financial measures
  • Support of carve-outs, investor processes or debt-to-equity approaches
  • Securing the restart with controlling and liquidity structures
