    Shareholders: One.

    Type of agreement interested in and reason:
    Selling shares to recapitalize the company. The company was very profitable, with a 40% margin on its main product. However the concurrence of two events disrupted the finances of the company: a big client failed and didn’t pay is due. Moreover, the bank they used (MPS) sold the company toxic derivatives in 2007 and as the crisis exploded they found themselves with a very bad investment. At the moment the company has a legal action against the back that most likely is going to win as other companies already set the precedent against the same bank.

    The owner would keep the Sanitary direction as he is a renown researcher, while I would give the administrative direction to the investor as a guarantee that the injection of liquidity would be well used.

    Company Description:
