Learn about the early warning signs that characterize companies at risk of a bankruptcy filing and the available sources of information you can use to discern these warning signs. And then, find out how to use this information to negotiate for protection from the risk of nonpayment or use legal and risk mitigation tools such as letters of credit, purchase money security interests and consignment, guarantees, credit insurance and accounts receivable puts. This webinar also will cover self-help remedies such as setoff and UCC adequate assurance and stoppage of delivery rights. Obtain the tactics that enable trade creditors to continue doing business with a customer, but reduce or terminate terms and enhance the likelihood of claims payment from struggling customers.
