Corporate Restructuring

In conflicts between creditors and distressed companies, the solution often lies in appointing a neutral third party as trustee. This trustee takes over the company's shares and acts in the interests of all parties involved, with the aim of restructuring the company or selling it as part of an M&A process. The proceeds are then distributed according to a distribution plan set out in advance in the trust agreement.

Blitzstart specialises in the role of restructuring shareholder, offering a sustainable solution for companies in crisis. Whether through classic trust structures or innovative approaches such as the CORE model, we guarantee flexible, results-oriented support.

CORE – Corporate Restructuring Entity

Under this model, the company's shares are transferred to a special purpose vehicle controlled by Blitzstart. This offers an effective solution in restructuring situations. The company is immediately and permanently divested by the former shareholder. Compared to a trust arrangement, the CORE model allows for entrepreneurial decision-making and a significant improvement in creditor recovery rates through a strong restructuring agenda.

We offer both trust structures and the CORE model in collaboration with experienced restructuring specialists. Blitzstart covers the trustee / shareholder role, providing a holistic approach to managing restructuring tasks. Active management and regular reporting ensure transparency and control throughout the restructuring process.

The offering is aimed at commercial banks, private equity funds, owner-managed companies, and international corporate groups alike. Blitzstart provides tailored solutions for specific challenges.

The reorganisation or winding-up of business premises or divisions by the shareholder are common reasons for choosing a restructuring shareholder solution. The model presented here facilitates such restructuring processes, without the shareholders having to manage them themselves. Further involvement of the existing management is not required. Internal resources are conserved and can instead be used for the core business or for meeting future challenges. Since the actual reorganisation or winding-up is carried out by the restructuring shareholder after taking over the company, the former shareholder's reputation can be protected, and other adverse effects of a restructuring or realisation process are avoided.
