Your questions, answered

Straight answers to common concerns. Your circumstances will determine the right approach.

Is an initial conversation really confidential?

We treat your enquiry confidentially and use the details you provide to respond to your request. An initial conversation does not commit you to an insolvency procedure or a paid service.

Can I be held personally liable for the company’s debts?

Company debts are normally separate from your own. Personal guarantees, an overdrawn director’s loan account and certain conduct can create personal exposure. Your position needs an individual review.

What is the difference between liquidation and administration?

Liquidation closes a company and deals with its assets and liabilities. Administration places the company under an insolvency practitioner’s control to pursue a statutory objective, which may include rescue or a better outcome for creditors.

How much does company liquidation cost?

The cost depends on the company’s assets, creditors, records and the work required. Ask for a written explanation of fees, expenses and how they will be funded before making a decision.

Will I be disqualified from being a director?

Company insolvency does not automatically lead to disqualification. Your conduct may be reviewed, and unfit conduct can lead to action. You must co-operate with the appointed insolvency practitioner.

Can HMRC agree a payment plan for arrears?

HMRC may agree a Time to Pay arrangement where the proposal is affordable. You must also be able to meet new tax liabilities. Approval and repayment length depend on your circumstances; neither is guaranteed.
