Most distressed companies face lack of trust by lenders due to unrealistic expectations and indecisive management attitude. We focus on developing restructuring concepts including strategic, financial and operational issues, in order to support corporate recovery. We develop innovative restructuring plans and negotiate favourable terms of agreement with creditors. Debt restructuring is an integral part of our work to ensure match of potential cash flows with repayment schemes.

“There are no Non Performing Loans, There are Non Performing Businesses”

Businesses that cannot meet their debt obligations need to follow a Recovery Plan which is agreed between lenders and shareholders. To ensure compliance with the Recovery Plan banks appoint a Trustee to monitor the company and support the necessary transformation.

Our long experience has distinguished us as an important partner with most Greek Banks.

VEGA assumes the role of Monitoring Trustee and acts as an intermediate between the Bank and the company, in order to ensure the realization of the restructuring plan
