Corporate Insolvency
A company that cannot pay its debts when they are due is considered to be insolvent.
The most common corporate insolvency procedures are:
- Deed of Company Arrangement
- Liquidations
- Receivership
- Voluntary Administration
There are several warning signs that a company may become insolvent:
- Problems with cash flow
- The need to extend payment terms with creditors
- Refinancing to pay bills
- Solicitors’ letters, demands, summonses, judgements or warrants issued against the company
It is vital that all company shareholders and directors are aware of any insolvency issues, as it is an offence for a business to continue to operate and incur more debts while insolvent.
Company shareholders and directors may also be held personally liable for unpaid debts incurred from the time the business became insolvent.
