8h30 Case study: Business rescue plan – The general requirements Karl
This case study will present and discuss two actual business plans, drafted by two different practitioners, based on the same information. The case study will focus on the various requirements which must be included and dealt with in a business plan, including:
  • Information which must be included in the plan;
  • Investigation of the affairs of the Company by the practitioner;
  • Considerations to be taken into account when dealing with loans which don’t comply with Section 45 requirements;
  • What are the requirements of the statement which must be included by the practitioner?
