Bankruptcy and a fresh start
The Enterprise Directorate-General is calling for tenders for a study on bankruptcy and a fresh start: the stigma on failure and legal consequences of bankruptcy. The study aims to obtain a clear picture of stigma on entrepreneurs who failed. It will analyse the attitude of the public, the business community and financial institutions to business failure and bankruptcy. It also needs to analyse the legal consequences of insolvency. The contractor should develop a list of public and private responses to bankruptcy, which permit entrepreneurs who have failed and wish to restart to do so while retaining the necessary security against recklessness and fraud.
