Successful Wind-Down and Exit Management
Professionals are often asked to assist in the wind-down and liquidation of a company by the company's legal counsel. The requesting attorney, who may have a history with the company, knows the company is in trouble and may even expect a bankruptcy filing will come relatively soon.

The company's limited working capital often comes from stretching trade and other creditors to the breaking point. Word of the company's situation has spread to the point where vendors will supply product only on C.O.D. terms or demand a portion of old debt, further exacerbating the cash crunch. Payment of outstanding accounts receivable slows while customers investigate switching suppliers. Uninformed employees assume the worst, and many are paralyzed with fear of losing their jobs; those who can are fleeing. The ability to meet payroll is often in doubt.
