THINKING ABOUT CLOSING YOUR BUSINESS?

there are a few things you need to consider....

1. If you traded as a sole trader you will still be liable for the debts of your business.

2. If you have signed a lease for your business premises you may not be able to simply hand back the keys. You could be liable for the remaining term on your lease agreement. Your landlord may also look to hold any assets in the business premises against unpaid rents.

3. Does your business or company own assets such as kitchen equipment? Its important to have these professionally valued.

4. When a business or person is insolvent and cannot pay their debts as they fall due it is important that you do not make payments and prefer one creditor other another.

We can help you by assessing your business looking at what options are available to you. We can help you work with your creditors.
