Business debts

Business debts

Business debts can be extremely stressful if you feel they’re unmanageable, particularly if you run a company with unlimited liability (i.e. a sole trader or partnership). If your business has been affected by the Covid-19 pandemic, you may be able to apply for financial support from the government to help with costs.

Limited companies

As a director of a limited company you have a legal obligation to ensure your company finances are in order. If you allow a company to trade when it’s insolvent and there is no prospect that its financial condition will improve you may be personally at risk.

Additionally, if the company goes into liquidation, administration or administrative receivership, the administrator, receiver or liquidator will review your actions when submitting their report to the Department of Trade and Industry.

This may result in you being prohibited from being a company director for a period of between 2 and 15 years. If you are struggling with business debt and your company could be heading towards insolvency, don’t delay in seeking professional advice as to whether you should continue to trade.

Our free business review will highlight the issues facing you and your company and provide complete details of all options available to you. We can help deal with the problems directors face. We may advise that you consider option, such as a Company Voluntary Arrangement, Administration Order, Liquidation or, if possible, an informal arrangement.
