Are You Dealing With Insolvency or Bankruptcy?

Our Insolvency Practitioners Help Both Creditors & Debtors Resolve Insolvency Matters In the Most Effective Way Possible

Corporate insolvency is part and parcel of the business landscape.

You are not the first to be liquidating a company and you will certainly not be the last.

A business in the process of becoming insolvent can be a slow burn, but the bonfire is inevitable in many cases.

Obligations continue to accumulate, creditors become unsettled, tax debts increase and all this leads to a compounding of the situation.

If you are facing insolvency…

InSolve Partners provides you not only clarity on the situation you are in, but also help to preserve your existing commercial contacts so a working relationship can be formed again in the future.

Remember, directors have legal obligations to not allow a company to put creditors at substantial risk or loss.

Becoming insolvent or claiming bankruptcy can have serious long term consequences for the future of your business career and should not be taken lightly.

Especially in a small community like New Zealand, memories are long and trust is hard to restore.

We are here to help you make the best of the situation and minimise the damage.

If you are a shareholder, a director or are owed money…

You can appoint us as the liquidator.

Put simply, a company is insolvent if it cannot meet its financial obligations as they fall due and there is no capital available to inject into the company.

We take the time with you at the outset to really understand your situation.

We assess what needs to be addressed urgently and build a plan and strategy around your situation and all the moving parts.

This simplifies your situation, and resolution from that point can be quick and relatively straightforward.

Once appointed as liquidator, we will effectively take control of the company (yes, your phone will stop ringing).

From that point on, we will deal with all aspects of the company as well as creditors and debtors so as to orchestrate an orderly wind up of your commercial affairs whilst preserving and maximising the value of any assets that are left in the company.

As liquidator, we are acting in the best interests of all creditors and asset realisation is our focus at this point.

FAQ About Insolvency NZ

Insolvency occurs when a person or business is unable to pay their debts as they fall due. It can lead to various legal proceedings to manage debt or liquidate assets.

Restructuring insolvency refers to the process of reorganizing a company’s debts and operations to help it recover from financial distress and avoid liquidation. The goal of restructuring is to make the company more financially viable, often through negotiating new terms with creditors, reducing debt, or implementing a new business strategy. This can include methods like appointing voluntary administrators, creditor compromises, or debt rescheduling.

Liquidation involves winding up a company and selling its assets to pay creditors, while receivership is when a receiver is appointed to manage or sell company assets on behalf of secured creditors.

Yes, options like voluntary administration or restructuring can sometimes avoid liquidation by negotiating repayment plans or refinancing debt.

Voluntary administration is a process where an external administrator is appointed to assess the company’s financial situation and explore options to restructure or sell the business.

Insolvency litigation involves legal disputes that arise during or as a result of the insolvency process, such as challenges to the validity of debts, recovery of assets, or claims against directors for misconduct like reckless trading. It often requires specialized legal intervention to resolve these issues and protect the interests of creditors, shareholders, or the insolvent party.

Secured creditors, such as banks, are usually paid first, followed by preferential creditors (e.g., employees), and finally unsecured creditors.

Employees are typically made redundant, and their owed wages and entitlements are considered preferential claims, meaning they are paid after secured creditors but before unsecured creditors.

Generally, directors are not personally liable unless they have given personal guarantees or acted unlawfully, such as trading while insolvent.

A creditor’s compromise is an arrangement between a company and its creditors to settle debts by paying a portion of what is owed over time, helping the company avoid liquidation.

Trading while insolvent means continuing to operate and incur debt when a company cannot pay its current obligations. This is considered “reckless trading”, is illegal and can result in personal liability for directors.

The liquidation process can take months to years, depending on the complexity of the company’s affairs, asset sales, and resolving disputes with creditors.
