Frequently asked questions: Insolvency and restructuring
What is the difference between restructuring and insolvency?
Restructuring is the process of reorganising a company’s debt, operations, or structure to restore profitability and stability, whereas insolvency refers to a financial state when a company or individual cannot pay their debts as they become due.
How do I know if my business is insolvent?
Typical signs of insolvency include cash flow problems, inability to meet financial obligations, creditors demanding immediate payment, and liabilities exceeding assets when assessing the company’s balance sheet.
What legal options do I have if my business is insolvent?
Your options include entering into a voluntary arrangement with creditors, administration, receivership, liquidation, debt restructuring or negotiating informally with creditors. The best option depends on your company’s specific circumstances and objectives.
Can directors personally face liabilities if a business becomes insolvent?
Directors can become personally liable if they continue trading while knowing the company is insolvent (‘wrongful trading’), breach their duties, or provide personal guarantees on company debts. Professional legal advice can clarify these liabilities.
How long does the insolvency process normally take?
Duration varies depending on complexity and circumstances. Administration typically lasts for approximately one year but can extend, while liquidation processes may range from a few months to several years.
