An informal workout is a contractual agreement by a company in financial difficulty with all or some of its creditors to compromise its debt or extend the terms of repayment. The terms of the agreement are not restricted by any particular law or statute and therefore are only limited by the imagination, expertise, and creativity of the participants and their advisors.
One of the key elements to successful financial reorganizations is recognition at an early date of your financial difficulty. As well, the use of experienced and competent insolvency professionals will increase creditor confidence, expand the restructuring options, and increase the likelihood that a successful plan will be implemented and ultimately succeed.
