Keeping your staff happy is key to running a successful company. One of the main ways to do that is to pay them, which is an area in which Saab is once again experiencing a bit of trouble. Specifically, Saab cannot pay white-collar employees because committed funds have not yet been fully recovered by investors. The automaker’s suppliers are looking to get paid as well, but there’s just no money to do so at the moment.
According to Bloomberg and Sweden’s The Local, Saab suppliers are seeking help from a collections agency. In total, 104 debts have been registered with the group teaming up to try and pry some money back from Saab. Meanwhile, the automaker is looking to secure a new loan to replace the current $346.6 million lent out by the European Investment Bank. Once in place, Saab would be ready to have Russian entrepreneur Vladimir Antonov step in and secure a 29.5 percent owner’s share of the company.
