About Us
We are a team of people who share a common desire to help others. As a non-profit organisation we have been operating on the Czech market for more than 20 years now and our main aim is to draw on our past experience and procedures to help those who are unable to help themselves. We have an expert team of debt and legal counsellors who help our clients resolve their financial and life situations on an individual basis and work with them to find the most suitable way to make a new start. We also have a professional team of teachers and specialists who prepare retraining and educational courses for our clients with the aim of increasing their chances on the labour market and helping them to master the skills required in their professional and personal lives.
We particularly specialise in providing expert debt and legal counselling free of charge.
Our team of counsellors is regularly trained by experienced instructors to enable us to provide our clients with quality service and targeted assistance in resolving their complex financial and debt situations.
We are accredited by the Ministry of Justice of the Czech Republic for the provision of debt relief services, which for our clients means drawing up and filing insolvency proposals FREE OF CHARGE.

COOPERATION WITH CZECH PRISONS
For many years now we have collaborated with the General Directorate of the Prison Service of the Czech Republic and currently operate in 19 Czech prisons. We have created a comprehensive process designed to help convicts make a full return to society in order to help to permanently reduce the rate of recidivism in the Czech Republic. This process includes resolving their debt situations, as well as helping them find accommodation and work after their release. (more here)
