Marek Wiśniewski

Experience in numbers, not promises

Marek has been dealing exclusively with situations where partners cannot reach an agreement for 9 years. He has gone through 83 settlement processes, most of which ended with a signed agreement in less than 4 months. Before founding Corporate Bridge in 2015, he managed finances in medium-sized manufacturing companies for 13 years. That's where he learned that bottlenecks in decision-making cost more than accounting errors or minor operational losses.

In his work, he applies a simple rule: numbers have no emotions. Marek enters the company when communication between owners breaks down. He analyzes account status, fixed assets, and concluded agreements. He doesn't look for someone to blame, but for a way out that will allow the company to survive without decision-making paralysis. In March 2023, he helped settle a transport sector company where conflict had lasted for 14 months. After 6 weeks of his work, the partners signed documents at the notary and parted without court cases.

(By the way, Marek often repeats that the most expensive element of any asset division is the owners' pride, not the consultants' fees).

Concrete approach to difficult cases

Marek focuses on three areas that most often block partner separations. The first is valuing the real market value of shares without sugarcoating the results for one of the sides. The second is preparing a repayment plan that will not drown the company's financial liquidity. The third — and often most difficult — is mediation in situations where one side wants to stay in the business and the other plans a total exit.

• Valuation of 47 enterprises with turnovers from 3 to 12 million PLN annually.
• Development of 28 partner debt restructuring plans in the last 4 years.
• Shortening the duration of disputes by an average of 67% compared to the court route.

Marek doesn't accept every case. If he sees that the parties only want to destroy each other in court, he refuses cooperation after the first consultation. Corporate Bridge was established to build real solutions, not to feed conflicts. Marek believes that a clean table is a clean account and only with such an approach business must keep running without the burdens of the past. He treats every project as a mathematical task where the result is to be the security of both sides' assets.
