Debtor register
If you or your company is listed in a debtor register (e.g., RKI or similar), this is a significant red flag for investors. Such listings indicate a history of payment issues or potential insolvency, including ongoing bankruptcy proceedings.
As part of our due diligence process, this is one of the first areas we review and assess before proceeding with any further evaluation.
