Case study
Cabinet ARC’s business investigation department is regularly approached at various stages in the commercial transaction (from contractual discussions to contract signature) as well as in relation to debt recovery.
- Preventive measures to check trading partners’ financial health :
Investments funds conducting LBOs have appreciated the expertise of business investigators prior to investing in companies in a wide variety of sectors.
- Investigations conducted by our business investigation department directly impact debt recovery :
Let’s look at the concrete case of a world leader in security agent solution provision with a debt held on a company with known cash flow difficulties. The investigation carried out by us revealed that the debtor company was due a VAT credit from the tax authorities and that payment had not yet been made. As our client’s debt fulfilled the required conditions we were able to distrain the amount held by the tax authorities, i.e. 1 million Euros as a precautionary measure.
Precautionary measures have an immediate psychological and financial impact that often leads to the sums due being paid before legal proceedings have even been instigated.
