- Overview of next steps and indicative timelines
- Direct answers to your specific questions
- WHAT RESULTS CAN YOU ACHIEVE?
- In the region of Lombardia the law provides different tools depending on your situation:
- FOR CONSUMERS (natural persons not carrying on business)
- Consumer debt restructuring
Allows you to propose a sustainable repayment plan, calculated on your actual financial capacity. The goal is to protect your income and essential assets while reducing debt to a manageable level. - Debt discharge
The mechanism that allows you to be freed from residual debt and start afresh. It is accessible after meeting specific requirements set by law, definitively overcoming the crisis. - Controlled liquidation
In the most serious cases, an orderly procedure that allows creditors to be satisfied while closing the debt position, enabling you to start over.
- Consumer debt restructuring
- FOR PROFESSIONALS AND SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS
- Minor composition agreement
A streamlined and rapid procedure that allows a significant reduction of debt, protecting professional income and personal financial stability. - Negotiated composition of crisis
A flexible tool that allows the definition of a debt restructuring plan through direct negotiations with creditors, tailored to the specificities of your business and financial situation. - Debt discharge
In certain cases, after going through the negotiated composition phase, it is possible to access the cancellation of residual debt, with the concrete possibility of starting afresh.
- Minor composition agreement
- FOR ENTERPRISES (large and small)
- Negotiated composition of crisis
The central tool for restructuring business debt: a plan negotiated with creditors aimed at maintaining productive continuity and preserving jobs. - Preventive agreement in continuity
Aimed especially at larger enterprises, it allows the drafting of a restructuring plan that preserves business value and continuity, balancing creditor protection with the company's ability to continue operations. - Judicial liquidation and liquidatory agreement
