I get a lot of calls from people asking what the personal affects of closing down their company will be. Everybodies situation is different and a bit of time spent with someone can help tremendously. If you liek what you read on the blog and you want your own persnal chat, feel free to contact me.
You are here because you know that your business is in trouble and you want to know what your options are. Bottom line is you want to know what you can do to make this thing work and if it can’t what it will cost you.
Let’s start with you first. If you have personal guarantees and the company is going to fail, unless you can roll these across into a new co, then these will fall on you to discharge. That can be managed, as you can either negotiate full and final settlements, you can debt manage these or ultimately pop them into an IVA.
In most cases, if you are talking to a professional early enough, they can convince any bank that the solution lies in taking this business forward in another guise, not with the same limited company shell but in a new fresh business created out of the old with no debt, fresh ideas, a new impetus and without any of the baggage that encumbered the last company.
A liquidation may be seen as a death of one business, which is true, but it can also a birth of a new business, with a clean start, with no anchor to hold it back. It will have a chance to thrive, and grow. Professionals will help it source its finance, they will help it cut it’s cost base and with their guidance it will enter the most challenging corporate environment that many of our generation will ever have known.
This is not a moment for the timid, but then only the brave ever put their head above the parapet in any event. Do you still have that drive that you had when you first went into business, and can you still rise to the challenge that faces us all out there? Mostly can you work for someone else? No, I thought not. So if you have a business that is failing and yet you still have the zeal that first made you want to set up in business on your own in the first place, consider closing the old company and phoenixing with a new company. You can have the same ideas, same workforce, but without the debt that crippled the last business. If you have no-one who you can turn to follow the links at the base of this article..
