When is a business insolvent?
Before we can consider the various solutions available for an insolvent business, it is important to first first understand first what the term ‘insolvent’ means.
A business is insolvent when it has insufficient assets to cover its liabilities/debts or is unable to pay debts when they fall due.
Conversely, when there are sufficient assets to cover liabilities or to pay debts as and when they fall due, a business is solvent.
