Liqudation

What does insolvency or being insolvent really mean?

Being Insolvent means, someone can force your business into bankruptcy, or use a winding up petition to force you into compulsory liquidation.

More importantly it means that various actions you take, or transactions/payments you undertake can cause problems for you in the future. These include asset transfers being overturned or payments being recovered, you may even become personally liable for company debts or specific transactions you and/or other directors enter into.

To put it simply, if you are insolvent you should seek advice from a professional insolvency practitioner as soon as possible in order to protect yourself and any other directors from unnecessary personal liabilities.
