What this usually involves

The earlier advice is taken, the more options remain. Once insolvency is likely, directors must prioritise creditor interests.

  • Solvency review and director duty advice
  • Informal arrangements, CVAs and administration
  • Managing creditor pressure and personal guarantees

Common questions

What is wrongful trading?
Continuing to trade when there is no reasonable prospect of avoiding insolvent liquidation, which can create personal liability.
Is administration always the answer?
No - refinancing, a CVA or a solvent restructure may preserve more value.
