What is insolvency?

Written by Mark Smith | 28 January 2019 11:59:35 PM

Insolvency in general terms, as it relates to a corporation, is the inability to pay debts as and when they become payable.

A company is also insolvent if it is experiencing an 'endemic shortage of working capital' as opposed to a temporary lack of liquidity.

Determining the difference at a point in time during the corporation's life is a question for a court to determine .

Indicators of insolvency include:

  • continuing losses,
  • no access to alternative finance,
  • the inability to raise further equity,
  • special arrangements with selected creditors,
  • solicitors' letters or judgments issued against the company,
  • overdue taxes,
  • failure to keep books and records, etc.

The list is indicative and not exhaustive.
