Understanding

Prevention widens the options

French law offers powerful, confidential tools before insolvency: the ad hoc mandate and conciliation. They allow debts and deadlines to be renegotiated under the protection of the court president, without publicity.

Once insolvency is established, it must be declared within 45 days. Safeguard, receivership or liquidation: each procedure has its logic, its constraints and its opportunities, including for a fresh start.

Frequently asked questions

When should I consult?

At the first signals: cash flow tight for several months, deferred tax or social debts, unauthorised overdraft. Before insolvency, the confidential prevention tools remain available.

What is “cessation des paiements” (insolvency)?

It is the inability to meet due liabilities with available assets. Its date is decisive: it determines the choice of procedures and the executive’s potential liability. It must be declared within 45 days.

Is the executive’s personal wealth at risk?

It can be: personal guarantees, liability for insufficient assets in case of mismanagement, personal sanctions. A defence prepared early considerably reduces these risks.

Conciliation or receivership: what is the difference?

Conciliation is amicable, confidential, and requires that the company has not been insolvent for more than 45 days. Receivership is a public collective procedure, which freezes liabilities and imposes a plan under court supervision.

Difficulties on the horizon?

The confidentiality of the first meeting is absolute. Every week gained widens your options.
