Whether due to overtrading, cash flow constraints, or an overall downturn in the market, it is an unfortunate part of business that not all companies ultimately end up being a success. When all other avenues for restructuring and refinancing have been exhausted there may be nowhere else left to turn other than to look at ways of facilitating the shutdown of an underperforming business.
Swift advice is crucial in protecting your personal position and limiting creditor losses when your company is facing the very real threat of insolvency.
