Accelerated sale of viable productive units

Pre-pack: preserve what is viable in your company through insolvency

A pre-pack is a technique that allows preparing, before the insolvency declaration, the sale of a productive unit of the company to an interested buyer, so that once the insolvency is declared, the sale is executed in an accelerated manner. The aim is to preserve the value of the business and the employment that depends on it, avoiding the destruction that would normally accompany an ordinary liquidation.

Situations where we can help

Your company has a viable part that can survive separately from the rest, but needs insolvency protection.

You have a buyer interested in acquiring the productive unit but the ordinary procedure would be too slow.

You want to maximise the value of the company and protect the employment associated with the productive unit.

You need a solution that combines insolvency protection with the speed of a prepared sale.

Our approach

How we approach each case to achieve the best result.

1

We identify the viable productive unit and separate it accounting-wise and legally from the rest of the company.

2

We seek and select buyers with the capacity and interest to acquire the productive unit.

3

We prepare all the sale documentation in advance, so it can be executed immediately after the insolvency declaration.

4

We coordinate the process with the insolvency administration to ensure transparency and judicial acceptance of the transaction.

Frequently asked questions

Does the pre-pack guarantee the sale will be approved by the judge?
No. The judge must approve the transaction, and will assess the transparency of the process, the reasonableness of the price and compliance with legal requirements. A well-prepared pre-pack increases the chances, but does not guarantee the outcome.
How much time can be saved with a pre-pack compared to ordinary insolvency?
The pre-pack allows the sale to be executed in the first weeks of insolvency, compared to the months or years an ordinary liquidation can take. This preserves the business value and prevents its deterioration.
Is the pre-pack suitable for any company?
No. The pre-pack is suitable when there is a viable productive unit and a real or potential buyer. In companies where the business is not separable or there are no buyers, the pre-pack may not be the ideal solution.
