CIT Restructuring

CIT Restructuring was founded by CITR experts, with the aim of providing restructuring solutions to companies outside the legal proceedings, through customized solutions, designed based on the specific needs of each individual business.
As part of CITR's work, the team provides turnaround consultancy for companies in difficulty, non-performing debt management, solutions for attracting capital, strategies for growing and developing non-performing businesses and consulting for operational and financial restructuring and judicial reorganization.

We started 20 years ago, in Transylvania, as a group of friends in search of a destiny - eager to prove, confident that we can - in the still rarefied air of the beginnings of entrepreneurship.

Romania was learning capitalism - we were in the era of pioneering and we were doing what the pioneers were doing: we were starting a business we had read about, heard about, but none of us had ever worked for such a company, whose purpose is to practice hope and value. We called it the Transylvania Insolvency House, proud of its origin - and at that time our universe, which today is called CITR.

CITR Mission

Our mission is to discover the value of companies in difficulty whether we are talking about business, product, brand, customers, team, assets, market share or other elements. We create the context of the second chance to save and increase this value through innovative, dedicated and pro-business solutions for financial and operational restructuring.

CITR was founded on the desire to be the best, to professionalize the role of the insolvency practitioner and to transform our passion in innovative solutions for the upswing and reintregration of the Roanian businesses in economy. We did this by continuously building on a number of pillars. Today, through the commitment and expertise of our team, lead by senior managers, we managed, as you may see, for 20 years, to save the value in Romanian companies. The story goes on.

Every business deserves a second chance, and CITR is the Impetum Group company with the right knowledge and know-how. Through CITR, we address all entrepreneurs whose businesses have reached a sensitive point, to whom we remind that there are real, viable options through which to bring their companies back on a favorable trajectory. I am convinced that failure is always more valuable than passivity. Anytime when facing an entrepreneur with the courage to admit to hardships, we are ready to step in for the common goal of saving business value, both in terms of activity and reputation.

With an organizational structure similar to the business-oriented companies, we have grown the most experienced professionals in the field, have influenced the development of the insolvency arena with our own professional expertise, and achieved the objectives of many significant and relevant companies in Romania. For more than 12 years, CITR has been the leader of the insolvency market. The future foresees even more preventive and restructuring procedures and many businesses given back to the economy.”

„CITR laid the foundations for a unique product in Europe, both through the multidisciplinarity of the case teams and through the strong visionary imprint on the reorganization procedures. The European market as a whole needs a fresh touch on preinsolvency, crisis management and insolvency mechanisms. The 360° approach and the know-how of CITR would definitely infuse added-value to all stakeholders. Prevention and offering a second chance have become the main pillars of restructuring at the European level, and CITR has already proven its seniority through the projects it has assumed.”
