Expert Commentary on Insolvency Trends
Tom Russell, President of R3, the UK’s restructuring, insolvency and turnaround trade body, explained: "A company is insolvent when it doesn’t have enough money to pay its debts or outgoings when they are due. One option open to an insolvent company is to enter administration. This involves the appointment of a licensed insolvency practitioner as administrator to take control of the business."
Robert Young, restructuring and insolvency partner at accountancy and business advisory group Azets, added: "Geopolitical issues, increases in costs, political uncertainty, a lack of affordable finance and creditors chasing overdue debts in an attempt to pay their own bills are just some of the issues that are driving firms into financial distress. Unless the climate becomes easier and some way is found of lightening the cost load on businesses, it's likely demand for advice and support will remain high in the coming weeks and months as more firms feel the effects of the challenging trading climate."
