Bankrupcty
A business is described as being insolvent when it is no longer able to pay its debts. If this situation continues it generally leads to bankruptcy (for sole traders) or winding up and liquidation (for companies).
Bankruptcy is where a person legally declares that he/she is unable to pay his/her debts. It means that any assets are then shared out equally among creditors.

To do this it is important that you manage your cashflow and any credit you might have effectively. Another way to avoid bankruptcy is to thoroughly consider securing any assets against any loans or credit you take out. If you are unable to pay, there is a high chance that you will lose these assets as creditors will be demanding their money.
A bankruptcy petition can be filed by the individual or by creditors who are owed over £750.
Being declared bankrupt will have a negative effect on your
credit rating so it is worth considering the alternatives first. (Although there are many lenders who will still consider you for an adverse loan, the interest rates may be slightly higher.)
If you are experiencing financial difficulties we would recommend that you seek bankruptcy advice from an independent financial adviser, who can try to help you avoid bankruptcy.
