Corporate Rescue and Business Recovery Training Course – Madrid, 28 Jun – 2 Jul 2027

Corporate Rescue and Business Recovery is a 1-week training course for finance directors, credit managers and restructuring advisers, built around one work product: a Turnaround and Creditor Proposal that a lender group can accept. Rising borrowing costs, tighter credit lines and longer supplier payment chains mean distress now reaches sound companies, and the window for a negotiated rescue closes quickly. Jupiter Prime Training delivers this course on corporate rescue and business recovery.

Why Corporate Rescue and Business Recovery Matters Now

Three forces shape rescue work today: lenders who reprice risk faster than before, trade creditors who shorten terms at the first sign of strain, and boards whose directors face personal exposure once insolvency becomes likely. A company that acts early keeps its suppliers and going-concern value; one that waits often loses control to a court-led process. The course rests on the internationally recognised statement of principles for multi-creditor workouts and on international principles for effective insolvency and creditor rights regimes.

Who Gains Most from Corporate Rescue and Business Recovery

• Finance leads who monitor liquidity headroom and covenant tests
• Credit and collections heads who decide whether to support, restructure or enforce against a debtor
• Restructuring advisers who prepare recovery options for boards
• In-house legal officers who draft standstill, intercreditor and security release documents
• Treasury managers who negotiate facility amendments, waivers and new-money terms

A finance function that sends its treasury, credit and legal leads together gains most.

Corporate Rescue and Business Recovery Capabilities

Participants learn to spot distress and steer a solvent recovery before formal proceedings.

• Assess early warning indicators in cash, covenants and supplier behaviour — the board's decision to open a rescue track
• Design a standstill agreement with clear duration, triggers and information rights — the lender group
• Calculate entity priority and estimated outcome for each creditor class — the negotiating position
• Build a restructuring plan that links operational fixes to a revised debt capacity — the investment committee
• Weigh consensual workout against administration, pre-packaged sale and liquidation — directors and their advisers
• Communicate a creditor proposal that answers each class's objections — trade suppliers, banks and shareholders

Key Corporate Rescue and Business Recovery Terms

• Standstill agreement — a contract in which creditors agree not to enforce or accelerate debt for a fixed period while a rescue is negotiated.
• Thirteen-week cash flow forecast — a rolling weekly projection of receipts and payments used to manage liquidity during distress.
• Estimated outcome statement — a comparison of what each creditor class would recover under the rescue plan versus liquidation.
• Haircut — the portion of a debt claim a creditor agrees to write off as part of a restructuring.
• Debt-for-equity swap — a conversion of creditor claims into shares, reducing leverage.
• Pre-packaged sale — a sale of the business or assets agreed before an administrator is appointed and completed soon after appointment.

Corporate Rescue and Business Recovery Questions (FAQ)

What is corporate rescue and business recovery, and why does it matter now?

Corporate rescue and business recovery is the set of legal and financial steps that return a distressed company to viability without a forced sale. It matters now because tighter credit and faster creditor reactions shrink the time available to act.

Which roles gain most from corporate rescue and business recovery training?

Finance directors, credit managers, treasury leads, in-house lawyers and restructuring advisers gain most. You gain a shared language for standstills and creditor classes.

How does corporate rescue and business recovery differ from a corporate finance or debt collection course?

It focuses on the distressed phase, where creditor rights, directors' duties and insolvency alternatives shape every decision. A corporate finance course assumes solvency; a collections course recovers single debts.

What do you bring back from corporate rescue and business recovery training?

You bring back a drafted turnaround plan and creditor proposal built on a realistic case, plus a cash forecast and standstill term sheet template.

Corporate Rescue and Business Recovery: The Way Forward

The Turnaround and Creditor Proposal first informs whether lenders sign a standstill and support new money. Finance directors use it to brief the board, credit managers to set recovery positions and advisers to test the plan. After its first use, revisit the debt capacity assumptions against actual trading, since early cash gains often fade.
