Frequently asked questions: Insolvency and restructuring
What is the difference between administration and liquidation?
Administration typically aims to rescue the business, restructure its debts, and preserve jobs, whereas liquidation involves winding up the business, selling its assets, and distributing proceeds to creditors.
When should a company seek professional insolvency advice?
Companies should seek professional advice as soon as financial difficulties become evident, such as inability to meet debt repayments, negative cash flow issues, or when facing legal action from creditors.
What is a Company Voluntary Arrangement (CVA)?
A CVA is a legally binding agreement between a company and its creditors, allowing the business to repay debts over a fixed period while continuing operations, often under more affordable terms.
Are directors personally liable for company debts during insolvency?
Generally, directors are not personally liable for company debts; however, personal liability can arise in cases involving wrongful trading, fraudulent activity, personal guarantees, or breaches of fiduciary duties.
