Application for Rehabilitation or Insolvency Proceedings for a Company in Georgia

Rehabilitation or insolvency proceedings for a company in Georgia may be requested by the debtor or, depending on the type of proceedings, by a creditor entitled to apply. The application must substantiate the asserted grounds for opening proceedings, the applicant’s entitlement to apply, and the requested type of proceedings with appropriate documents.

Tip

Before filing, the type of proceedings must be clearly chosen: rehabilitation or insolvency administration. Applications by debtors and creditors require different grounds, but each must coherently substantiate the applicant’s entitlement to apply, the grounds for opening proceedings, and the debtor’s identity. Filing alone does not open the proceedings.

Debtor's application

A company in Georgia can itself apply to open rehabilitation or insolvency proceedings if the statutory requirements for the chosen procedure are met. The debtor’s application must be based on a duly adopted corporate decision and provide a complete, clear account of the company’s financial position.

Creditor Petition

A creditor in Georgia may apply to open insolvency proceedings against a company if they adequately substantiate their claim and the statutory conditions for opening proceedings. A single unpaid invoice does not automatically prove the debtor’s insolvency.

Filing

An application for corporate rehabilitation or insolvency in Georgia must be filed with the competent court in the prescribed form and with complete application documents. Jurisdiction, authority to represent the parties, and the type of proceedings should be clearly established before filing.
