Strategy
The average duration of a bankruptcy in the Netherlands takes about 4 years. In only 4 out of 100 bankruptcies the unsecured creditors may expect a (partial) dividend payment; In 96% of all companies declared bankrupt, the unsecured creditors do not receive any distribution.
Invadco purchases bankruptcy claims. The company offers the creditors to sell their claim against immediate payment of an agreed purchase price. The purchase price is based on the risks related to the bankruptcy and the expected duration of the bankruptcy.
The founders of Invadco started buying claims in the Fokker Aircraft bankruptcies (since 1998). They have been active in many (Dutch) bankruptcies. Most names are unknown to the public. More well known names are AND, DAF, DSB Bank, Enron, Fokker Aircraft, KPNQwest, Landis, NBBS, Storteboom, Swissair, TXU, Verolme, Verto, Van der Hoop Bankiers.
Invadco has been doing business with (foreign) creditors such as law firms, credit insurance companies, financial institutions, multinationals and other trade creditors. Currently Invadco holds about 700 claims against approximately 100 different bankrupt debtors.
According to article 3:94 of the Dutch Civil Code a claim can be assigned by a deed of assignment and a written notification of the assignment to the debtor (the bankruptcy trustee). Invadco draws up these documents free of charge.
Sellers
Invadco offers creditors of bankrupt companies the opportunity to sell their claim against immediate payment of an agreed purchase price. The purchase price is based on the risks related to the bankruptcy and the expected duration of the bankruptcy. Invadco provides immediate liquidity and certainty to the creditors. After having agreed upon the purchase price, the procedure is as follows:
3
Invadco notifies the bankruptcy trustee about the assignment of the claim. As a result the bankruptcy trustee knows that Invadco has become the new creditor instead of the original creditor.
4
Invadco awaits the winding down of the bankruptcy.
1
Invadco draws up the assignment agreement and sends it to the creditor;
2
After undersigning the agreement by both, Invadco and the creditor, Invadco immediately gives the payment order to its bank to transfer the purchase price.
Together with the assignment of the claim to Invadco, the risks related to the bankruptcy are taken over by Invadco as well. There are no risks involved anymore for the initial creditor.
Invadco speculates on a higher dividend payment by the bankruptcy trustee than the purchase price paid to the initial creditor; if that happens Invadco makes a profit. If less than the purchase price will be paid, the loss will be for the account of Invadco.

Balances
A winding down of bankruptcy in the Netherlands is a long lasting process. When after several years a bankruptcy can be completed by the bankruptcy trustee, it often occurs that creditors can not be found and are unattainable. The trustee will not be able to pay the creditor and will deposit the balance at the Dutch Ministry of Finance. Balances are saved by the Ministry for 25 years. After that period the balance seizures to the Dutch State. Invadco tracks down missing creditors – worldwide – and accommodate them in submitting a formal request at the Dutch Ministry of Finance in order to receive the outstanding balance.
Invadco can also assist missing holders of legacies and expropriations.
