Insolvency is the term used when an entity is unable to pay its debts when they fall due for payment. In Australia, the term ‘insolvency’ or ‘insolvent’ is used in the context of a company, whereas insolvency for a natural person is referred to as ‘bankruptcy’ or being ‘bankrupt’.
Ensuring that you or your company has sufficient cash flow is essential for any business to prosper. Unfortunately, there are always circumstances outside of our control which could lead to financial distress for an individual or a company. Generally, the companies which are most at risk are small businesses.
In the financial year ending in June 2015, almost 80 percent of corporate insolvencies in Australia were for small businesses, most of which will fail within the first 5 years of operation.
