If winding up proceedings are initiated against the customer, the creditor shall be bound by a deadline. The claim shall be notified to the liquidator within the time limit related to the publication, together with the necessary documents.

The content of the notification has a substantial influence on whether or not the claim is recognised and what classification it receives. It is therefore important to draw up contracts, invoices and certificates of performance.

Following registration, the winding-up measures and the settlement should also be monitored, as there is legal possibility to dispute classification or settlement.

The rate of return depends on the financial situation and classification; the firm does not promise this, but provides information on realistic expectations.
