| Abstract |
Although SMEs get a lot of attention in the Netherlands, there is no specific debate on SMEs and restructuring. A range of public instruments directed at SMEs exists, but their focus is mainly on growth and expansion. Many instruments are fiscal in nature. There are no public or social partner instruments specifically aimed at restructuring in SMEs. The existing instruments often appear to be better suited for larger companies than for SMEs. Considering the above, one can not really point to a good practice in the Netherlands.
