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 save and enhance the value of Roman ian businesses, by reintegrating them into the economy. We aim to give a second chance to companies in distress, local communities and people. 
We use the best international practices in the field and aur knowledge, that has been consolidated throughout 20 years of experience, in an innovative and project-specific way.

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.

„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.”
