Burdened by loss-making
subsidiaries?
Holding onto a subsidiary company that continues to generate losses is an enormous burden. It can be measured in financial strains, tied up management resources and lost time the parent corporation has to spend on its non-core subsidiary activities. Both you and your management have more important things to do: Fortunately there is a better option.
Selling your subsidiary to ALLEGRA CAPITAL frees you from protracted restructuring ordeals and all the cash drain and stress that come with them. That means you can again focus on what is really important, efficient and promising. See for yourself and open up a new, successful chapter.
Go further by letting go.
