Is your business going into liquidation?

If it looks like your business could be approaching insolvency then there are certain duties and responsibilities placed on you as a director. Failure to meet these could result in a Disqualification order under the Company Directors Disqualification Act 1986 being issued against you.

Disqualification orders, which prevent individuals acting as directors or business managers for up to 15 years are on the rise.  This can turn the insolvent company landscape into a complete minefield for you.  Without clear and accurate direction you could become disqualified and personally liable for the company’s debts.

With the added pressure of creditors demanding payment this can be an extremely challenging time.  McTear Williams & Wood is able to provide you with advice and guidance to minimise the risk that you might be disqualified from acting as a director of a company in the future.
