About the Business Rescue Course

Why attend a G&A Business Rescue and Compromise Offers course?


The course material is based on the empirical research performed by the authors and, combined with their wealth of experience in the Commercial world, explains what really happens during a Business Rescue or Compromise Offer, as opposed to what should happen. The authors believe that a Company that is in financial distress is ultimately an economic problem which has the potential of being dealt with under the legal framework of Chapter 6 of the Act. The courses highlight the various pitfalls of most strategies followed by many Practitioners and Affected parties during a Business Rescue.

Example of the material that course attendees will receive

The training courses will enable Affected parties of a Business Rescue to negotiate within the framework of true compliance, as opposed to litigating to compliance and suffering financial losses in process. By being trained in the G&A Compass methodology, the attendee will learn how to obtain the necessary information about what should be done or what can be done in terms of Chapter 6 of the Act and applicable case law. This methodology is a world first, providing a totally new and fresh approach to unpacking the responsibilities of highly complex legislation. Training in the G&A Compass methodology enables any person, be it a business rescue practitioner, legal practitioner, credit manager, auditor or any other interested or affected party to participate in a meaningful and constructive manner in a Business Rescue or Compromise Offer.

Affected parties have the right to information and the right to participate in the decision making, which is ultimately based on the business rescue plan presented. Understanding what should be included in a business plan in terms of financial information as prescribed in the Act will enable the affected parties to make informed decisions. The course explains what financial information should be included and how it should be presented to be considered acceptable, and what can be demanded if it is not acceptable. By having access to correctly presented and verified information, an affected party is empowered to consider the existing plan and to make alternative suggestions.
