Note to reference poster
Asker: Hi Derringdo - I actually think that "cash company" is the best proposal, even though I cannot find many examples of use of the term in connection with asset stripping. My guess is that the term is not as firmly established as a concept in English as it is in Danish, so it would probably require a bit of explanation on the first use of the term in a translated text. Can you enter "cash company" as a suggestion so that I can award it points? Thanks. :-)
