Minimizing losses and maximizing recoveries from bankruptcy is indeed possible

Today’s business environment is volatile, and no one can predict what will happen next. Especially during difficult times, some companies may find it challenging to recover credits or discharge debts – leading to the need for corporate recovery.

The current COVID-19 pandemic has slowed down the global and local economies. Various business sectors and industries have been profoundly impacted, leading to bankruptcy or insolvency for many businesses across Indonesia.

To support businesses and companies in Indonesia and help them survive during this unfortunate time, we provide corporate recovery and bankruptcy or insolvency services that can assist you in weathering the storm.

Procedures for Bankruptcy Filing

Bankruptcy filing and debt suspension filing in Indonesia are somewhat complicated. It would be wise to consult with insolvency and bankruptcy professionals who can explain the procedure of corporate recovery in great detail and assist you in every step.

Filing bankruptcy can help business owners by discharging debts or making plans to repay debts. In short, the procedure for filing bankruptcy in Indonesia is as follows:

  • File bankruptcy: it can be either self-filed or filed by creditors.
  • Wait approximately 30 days to see whether a bankruptcy filing is approved or rejected.
  • If the bankruptcy filing is approved, arrange a meeting with creditors for a peace proposal.
  • If approved, the next step is homologation or verification, followed by the bankruptcy being terminated or lifted. If rejected, the next step is asset designation, followed by asset distribution.

Note: if a bankruptcy filing is rejected, there will be cassation and judicial review before going through the bankruptcy filing process all over again.

In addition to filing for bankruptcy, business owners can also file for debt suspension. When debt suspension filing is approved, creditors agree to suspend the scheduled payments so that debtors can allocate their resources to coping with and surviving a difficult time.
