Identifying if your company is Insolvent

A company is deemed insolvent when it is acutely obvious that it is unable to pay its debts as they fall due. If you are unsure if your company is insolvent, then ask yourself these questions;

1)      Is the company up to date with all Revenue returns and liabilities?

2)      Is the company up to date at the Companies Registration Office?

3)      Can I pay my creditors as they become due?

4)      Has the bank withdrawn facilities?

5)      Have customer cancelled outstanding order?

 

If you answer yes to some, or all of the above questions then you may need to speak with the company’s accountant or other financial advisor establish the current situation of your business. Company Directors must take action quickly, otherwise they may expose themselves to be personally liable for the company's debts, if it can proven that the directors continued to trade during a period when they knew, or should have known that the company was insolvent.
