Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP) is a legal process established under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) to resolve financial distress in companies. It allows creditors to take control of a distressed company’s assets and work with a licensed insolvency professional (IP) to come up with a plan to restructure the company's debts and operational framework. CIRP aims to ensure that the maximum value is derived from the distressed company, benefitting both creditors and stakeholders, while providing an opportunity for the company to return to solvency or face liquidation if necessary.

At Frontine Corporate Services, we specialize in Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP) services, guiding distressed businesses through the intricacies of this legal framework. Our team of experts ensures a smooth, efficient resolution process, minimizing risks and maximizing outcomes for all parties involved.

Key Features of Our Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process Services:

1. Initiating CIRP
   We assist in the initiation of CIRP by ensuring that all legal prerequisites are met, including filing the necessary applications with the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT). This includes helping to identify signs of insolvency and ensuring that the company’s creditors are properly notified.

2. Professional Insolvency Resolution Experts
   Our experienced insolvency professionals (IPs) play a key role in the CIRP, taking over the management of the company temporarily, and working to resolve the company’s debts through negotiations and restructuring. We guide the process, from identifying potential solutions to implementing the final resolution plan.

3. Management of Company Assets
   As part of the CIRP, we ensure that the company’s assets are carefully managed and protected during the insolvency process. This includes conducting an inventory of assets, ensuring proper valuation, and managing the sale of assets if required to repay creditors.

4. Debt Restructuring and Repayment Plans
   We develop a restructuring plan aimed at resolving outstanding debts. This can include rescheduling payments, writing off debts, or converting debt into equity, depending on the financial situation of the business. Our goal is to create a feasible repayment plan that enables the company to recover and resume operations.

5. Creditors’ Committee Coordination
   During the CIRP, we help facilitate communication and negotiations with the creditors’ committee. This committee plays an essential role in approving the resolution plan and overseeing the financial recovery process. We ensure that all stakeholders’ interests are represented and that the process moves forward smoothly.

6. Approval of Resolution Plans
   Once a viable resolution plan is developed, we assist in securing approval from creditors and the NCLT. Our team ensures that the plan meets all legal and financial requirements, maximizing the chances of approval and helping the company regain financial stability.

7. Liquidation (If Necessary)
   In cases where no resolution plan is viable or creditors vote for liquidation, we manage the liquidation process to ensure compliance with the law and protect the interests of creditors. This involves selling the company’s assets to settle outstanding debts.

8. Timely and Transparent Process
   The CIRP process must adhere to strict timelines to ensure the best outcome. Our team ensures that all actions are carried out within the regulatory timelines, providing a clear and transparent process for the distressed company and all stakeholders involved.

9. Legal and Regulatory Compliance
   We ensure that all aspects of the Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process comply with the legal and regulatory framework, including the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC). This reduces the risk of legal challenges and ensures that the resolution process remains lawful and transparent.
