The
coronavirus (COVID-19) global pandemic
has brought additional strain to an
already struggling South African
economy. IQbusiness, Schindlers
Attorneys, Engaged Business
Turnaround, Sirdar Group and Envision
have formed a consortium to bring
their extensive legal, accounting,
technology and business turnaround
expertise to help businesses in
financial distress.
Together, these businesses have
launched a crisis management centre
called the COBRA (Covid Business
Rescue Assistance) War Room. The
initiative aims to assist and sustain
South African businesses through the
Covid-19 crisis with free services to
help them receive coordinated bank,
government and stakeholder
support. If required, a
structured business rescue process can
be initiated, with the objective of
rehabilitating affected companies.
