Some Important Facts About Insolvency
Insolvency is a term use to define a situation in which a debtor (or a company) is unable to pay off his debts by the due date
. There are two ways in which business insolvency can be defined:
1. A business can become cash flow insolvent if it holds any kind of illiquid assets, especially in lieu of a short-term debt, which cannot be released immediately in case, the need arises.
2. On the other hand, the same business can become balance sheet insolvent in case it has negative net assets, i.e. its liabilities exceed its targets.
Consequences
An insolvent business (based on the rules of the modern legislation and debt restructuring practices) is not subject to liquidation and elimination but is remodelled financially as well as organisationally so as to rehabilitate it and permit the continuation of the business.
Different Jurisdictions, Different Takes
Under some jurisdictions, it's illegal for an insolvent business or corporation to conduct business. Contrary to this outlook, under some others, an insolvent business may continue to do business under a protective arrangement, while a government body works out alternative options for recovery.
But most of the times, legislatures go for the easier option, i.e. winding up the processes of a company and closing it down.
Using an Insolvency Practitioner
An insolvency practitioner, generally lawyers by qualification, will charge a lot of fees for arranging and supervising an Individual Voluntary Arrangement (IVA). Thus, it's important for a person to shop around for IPs that provides him/her, the best deal. Typically, a charge of 4000 or above will be levied by a competitive practitioner. Some of them will only ask for a one-time full fee payment while others will let you pay in easy instalments.
Go for a practitioner that offers an initial free meeting for you as a demo of all that they can help you with.
Laws in the United Kingdom
In UK, trading while insolvent is considered illegal and a criminal offence. But there are some practices which particularly aim to provide protection to the creditors of an insolvent company or an individual in order to balance their interests.
Laws in the United States of America
Under the US legislation, a person becomes insolvent when he fails pay off is debts during the regular course of business or is unable to pay off as his debts become due. Under the US legislation, efforts can be made to protect an insolvent individual or corporation from creditors.
Swizz Laws are radically different!
Under Swizz laws, if an individual or a corporation is deemed insolvent, then it may lead to seizure and auctioning off of the assets so as to pay up the creditors. We hope this gives you a clearer picture.
