Insolvency and Bankruptcy – What’s the Difference?
The difference between these two expressions in the UK is very simple;
- companies become insolvent [ and other expressions such as liquidation and administration apply to companies only]
- individuals go bankrupt
Business Insolvency – How We Can Help
Our specialist team regularly acts for a variety of those involved in a potential insolvency – including Insolvency Practitioners, lenders, and both companies and their directors.
We can help you with a number of issues including;

- Acting for Creditors
- Bankruptcy
- Issues surrounding Director’s Disqualification. Click here to read more about Director Disqualification Orders
