• Become insolvent

To obtain working capital
A business may be financed in different ways but it is mostly through a combination of own and borrowed funds and supplier credits. To borrow money from a bank (the main lender) requires collateral in the form of real estate or mortgages or some form of guarantee. Erb can assess what form of security to be provided in different situations.

Contract
Our clients can in various ways join agreements. They can go into agreements with their suppliers and their customers. Erb assists in the preparation of contracts. We help establish agreements in the transfer of businesses or the transfer of limited liabilities.

To get caught up in dispute
The general courts consist of three levels: Magistrates’ court (District Court), Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court (HD). There are about a hundred Magistrates’ Court in the country, each one covering a geographic area. The Courts of Appeal are found in Stockholm, Gothenburg, Malmö, Jönköping, Sundsvall and Umeå. The Supreme Court is located in Stockholm. If any of our clients are subject to a process, whether that someone has sued our client, or that our client wishes to sue someone else we can help with lawyer contacts. At the first meeting with the lawyer usually questions about the legal expense insurance occur and therefore, you may want to bring existing insurance documents.

To become insolvent
If you are unable to pay your bills in the right time, you become insolvent. An insolvency may mean that you become object for debt collection and later the subject of negotiations under piece law, placed in a situation of liquidation duty or risk bankruptcy.
