When a company goes into formal insolvency any ordinary ‘trade’ or ‘unsecured’ creditors come last in the strict pecking order ~ after banks, the government, employees and landlords. So any returns are normally very low.
If it is a supplier that has gone bust, this can leave your business without stock or services which are vital to your success. The butterfly effect caused by a suppliers business insolvency in many situations can cause a wave that impacts other business with varying results.
For some business owners, this is just yet another aggravating obstacle to overcome – along with increasing costs, tighter profit margins and difficulties raising new funds.
