Project

The Project "Crisis Intervention and Management of Change in Micro-Enterprises" aims to analyse successful instruments and disseminate this innovation into further EU Member States. The approach is to first realise a peer review of two sophisticated telephone based models (Business Debtline/Birmingham and FIRMENHILFE/Hamburg) and to compare them to alternative models in other Member States (external best practice examples). Futhermore the aim is to develop and realise pilot projects for implementation partners

and offer the proven methodology and experiences to stakeholders and enterprises in other member and candidate states. Main dissemination channels will be a compilation of best practice cases, a European handbook for practitioners and a rolling out plan for the European Union.
