How does Limited Liability protect Limited Company Directors?
Although trading via a limited company provides the directors with a form of protection, if the company is unable to pay its debts there are still certain scenarios that can leave the director in a precarious position following the insolvency of their company.
The most common scenarios are:
- Where personal guarantees have been given to creditors such as the bank, landlords, suppliers, etc.
- Trading while knowingly insolvent
- Preferring to pay certain creditors over others
- Selling or transferring assets at an undervalue
If any of the above apply to you, then we may be able to help.
