Helping Companies Avoid Insolvency
New data reveals that almost 50 businesses face insolvency every week. With such alarming figures, it's crucial for companies to look ahead and identify early signs of financial trouble to prevent insolvency. Whutuporo Accountants are experts in guiding businesses through these turbulent waters, ensuring they remain solvent and secure.
Understanding Insolvency
Auckland firm BWA Insolvency has been tracking data on liquidations, receiverships, and voluntary administrations since 2012. Their latest report shows 553 insolvencies in the three months leading up to March 31. But what does insolvency mean? A business is considered insolvent if it cannot pay its debts on time or if its total debt exceeds the value of its assets.
The Impact of Insolvency on Businesses
When a company cannot pay its debts, its future depends on its structure. A company will go into liquidation, where a liquidator takes control of the unsecured assets and sells them to repay creditors and shareholders. For sole traders or partnerships, the owners may face bankruptcy.
Rising Insolvency Rates
The latest figures indicate a 10% increase in insolvencies from the previous quarter and a 28% rise compared to the same period last year. Despite these increases, BWA Insolvency's Bryan Williams cautions against jumping to conclusions. He notes that while insolvency rates have gradually climbed, the current figures should not cause panic.
Signs of Hope
Interestingly, the report also shows a 317% increase in voluntary administrations, suggesting that more directors are seeking expert help before it's too late. This proactive approach can provide companies with options to salvage their business.
