Fictitious bankruptcy

Many businesses that have financial plan problems are looking for solutions. One option that seems to work is a sham bankruptcy. That is, the company files for bankruptcy in order to get a deferment on debt payments. While court cases are pending, the company “patches holes”, pays debts, and then continues to operate. But it seems so simple at first glance, and fake bankruptcy has many disadvantages. Therefore, our company “Prykhodko and Partners” offers alternative options in difficult financial situations. We will talk about this below.

Risks of fictitious bankruptcy

Although fake bankruptcy may seem like a profitable way out of financial problems, it is associated with a number of serious risks that cannot be ignored:

Legal consequences:

Criminal liability. A fictitious bankruptcy is considered fraud and can lead to criminal prosecution of the management and owners of the business.
This may include fines, imprisonment or other severe penalties.
Administrative responsibility. State authorities can impose significant fines and other sanctions on an enterprise for attempting a fictitious bankruptcy.
Negative impact on reputation. Fictitious bankruptcy seriously damages the business reputation of the enterprise, which makes it difficult to conduct business in the future. This can lead to the loss of partners, customers and investments.
Cancellation of licenses and permits. In some cases, a sham bankruptcy can result in the cancellation of licenses and permits required to conduct business.

Other consequences:

Loss of assets. In the process of bankruptcy, the company may lose part of its assets, which will be sold to pay off debts.
The difficulty of obtaining loans in the future. After a fictitious bankruptcy, it will be very difficult for the company to get loans from banks and other financial institutions.
Loss of control over the enterprise. In some cases, during the bankruptcy process, control over the enterprise may pass to creditors or an arbitration administrator.
Long process. The bankruptcy procedure can last for several years, which negatively affects the company’s activities.
Psychological pressure. Fictitious bankruptcy is associated with significant psychological pressure for the company’s management and employees.

Given all these risks, sham bankruptcy is not a profitable or safe solution for businesses in financial trouble. There are many alternative options that allow you to improve the financial condition of the company without such serious consequences.

Debt restructuring as an alternative to sham bankruptcy

Debt restructuring is an effective and legal method of solving financial problems that can be a great alternative to fake bankruptcy. This process involves negotiations with creditors to change the terms of debt repayment, which allows the company to improve its solvency and avoid bankruptcy.

Advantages of debt restructuring

Preservation of business reputation. Unlike fictitious bankruptcy, restructuring does not harm the company’s reputation, because it shows the company’s desire to solve problems in a legal and responsible way.
Avoiding bankruptcy. Restructuring allows the enterprise to remain operational, preserving assets and jobs.
Improvement of financial condition. By changing the terms of debt repayment, the company can reduce its debt load and improve its financial condition.
Restoring creditor confidence. The readiness for constructive dialogue and finding a compromise can restore trust on the part of creditors, which in the future can make it easier to obtain new loans.

How debt restructuring occurs

At the first stage, a thorough analysis of the company’s financial condition is carried out in order to determine its real possibilities for debt repayment.
Next, the company’s management communicates with creditors to discuss possible options for restructuring. This may include extending payment terms, reducing interest rates, writing off part of the debt, or a combination of these measures.
According to the results of the negotiations, a restructuring agreement is concluded, which clearly defines the new terms of debt repayment.
The company is obliged to comply with the terms of the agreement and make timely payments.

This process requires time, effort and willingness to compromise on the part of both the company and creditors. However, if done correctly, restructuring can be an effective tool to overcome financial difficulties and preserve the business. It is important to contact an experienced lawyer.

Is it possible to go through the bankruptcy procedure if the debt is less than 180,000 UAH?

Bankruptcy can be filed regardless of the amount of debt — there are no minimum limits set by law. However, if the amount of debt is less than UAH 180,000, it is usually more advisable to agree on debt restructuring, as bankruptcy may be economically unprofitable.
