Abstract

The aim of this paper is on the issue of low returns in the Czech Republic to offer a new perspective. Article concerns the agency theory before the bankruptcy proceedings with regard to the specifics of Czech Republic. Given that bank lenders have better bargaining power in comparison with other classes of creditors, the view focuses on their activity while initiating bankruptcy. The article tries to estimate what percentage of insolvencies could be launched in the Czech Republic by bank lender based on the specific position of individual groups of debtors before insolvency proceedings. Bank lenders have stronger monitoring and enforcement means, which gives them a specific opportunity to initiate proceedings in a better timeframe than other creditors.
