BBL, Healthcare.

We are the lifeblood every healthy business needs.

Virtually no other industry is under such considerable cost pressure as the healthcare sector. Spending caps, rising costs, staff shortages – all this can spell trouble for medical practices, pharmacies and businesses in the medical-pharmaceutical fields. But sound advice doesn’t have to break the bank – with our help, your business can get back to full health.

BBL has many years of experience in the healthcare field. Our lawyers are well-connected in the health sector and know just who to contact, at banks as well as wholesalers, prescription processing centres, etc. We have already been able to successfully restructure many businesses, including medical practices, pharmacies, hospitals, health centres, laboratories, processing centres, as well as welfare facilities such as children’s and youth services.

We provide you with consultation not only when there is risk of insolvency, to help your business back onto its feet through restructuring solutions, but also where insolvency has occurred. We act as a stabilising partner, to file applications, communicate with the entities involved and support the whole process as insolvency administrator or custodian. That’s how we transform crisis into opportunity.

Cost increases, labour shortages, demographic challenges: the healthcare sector needs new answers. Let's ask Florian Linkert what these might be.

BBL, Answers.

Three questions for Florian Linkert, Partner at BBL and reorganisation expert in the healthcare sector.

What are the key challenges the healthcare sector currently faces?
The German healthcare system is under great pressure. On the one hand, demand for medical care is increasing due to demographic changes, while on the other, a shortage of skilled labour, rising operating costs and political plans for reforms are creating huge challenges. Many facilities, but also healthcare providers such as pharmacies, dental labs or billing service providers, are struggling with liquidity problems due to inefficient structures, a lack of digitalisation or difficult refinancing conditions. A good example is the acute psychosomatic specialist clinic Urbachtal, which has come under pressure due to rising costs and difficult access to capital. Only through targeted restructuring and a successful investor solution could operations be continued. This proves that if you act early you can survive in the long term.

How can BBL support organisations through this crisis?
Our experience with clients such as MeinDentist Group, a large chain of dentists with 16 locations, or the medical centre (MVZ) Frankfurt-Westend, proves that every company needs a customised solution. As a rule, we aim to stabilise business operations, find investors or offer a long-term perspective through a transferring restructuring. In the case of Frankfurt-Westend, we assisted with the facilitation of insolvency in self-administration, secured daily operations and developed an investor solution that preserved the centre and the care of more than 40,000 patients per year. That’s what we’re all about: not just managing, but shaping. And through that, creating real prospects.

And what’s your recommendation to companies in the healthcare sector?
Proactive crisis management is everything. If you review cost structures in good time, optimise your digital processes and strategically position yourself, you’ll have the best chances. At the same time, banks, investors and other stakeholders need to have a seat at the same table. Often, we see that companies wait too long – then, insolvency is often the only choice. But from our experience we can say that with the right measures in place, like with MeinDentist Group, you can find a suitable solution even in difficult situations.
