Insolvency In 2008 – What Are The Options
It is safe to say that the options for businesses in insolvency may narrow in 2008. The bigger single factor in this narrowing is a change of attitude by lenders. Previously, lenders would aim to turn a company's finances around only deem insolvency a last resort. In the current climate, however, lenders are reluctant to offer the same wide leeway and may instigate insolvency.
