Defense against bankruptcy petition

Has a creditor applied for your bankruptcy? Act quickly and effectively

Bankruptcy has serious consequences. When a creditor applies for the bankruptcy of you or your business, you are up against the wall. However, a bankruptcy application does not automatically mean that bankruptcy will be declared. But you should not underestimate a bankruptcy application, even if you disagree with the creditor's claim. In the Netherlands, bankruptcy can already be declared if there is more than one creditor, one of whom has an enforceable claim. However, there are legal and strategic options to successfully defend against a bankruptcy application, provided you act quickly and effectively.
