This week, we’ll dive into the complexities of creditors’ rights and the challenges directors face in meeting their obligations. Today, we will explore creditors’ rights and whether they should be part of the final demand process.
Creditors’ Rights: Navigating Debt Collection
While often overlooked due to cost, creditors can issue warnings to directors under the Companies Act 2006, ensuring they’re aware of their financial circumstances. Directors may request creditors to review past accounts, but relying solely on historical data can be risky.
Mitigating Risk: Strategies for Debt Collection
Unexpected changes like losing a key client or winning a major contract can impact cash flow, leading to debt issues. In such cases, creditors can remind directors of their fiduciary duties through custom demand letters. If directors fail to act, involving the Secretary of State or Official Receiver may be prudent, though this could be inundated with requests.
