When Do I Need to Appoint an Insolvency Practitioner in Tyne and Wear?

You need to appoint an IP when your company is insolvent and can no longer pay its debts as they fall due, or when its liabilities exceed its assets in Tyne and Wear.

Early appointment helps prevent wrongful trading and allows you to explore available solutions in Tyne and Wear.

How Do I Appoint an Insolvency Practitioner in Tyne and Wear?

The process typically begins with a free consultation. If liquidation or restructuring is required, you’ll formally engage the IP by signing a letter of engagement in Tyne and Wear.

In a CVL, shareholders pass in Tyne and Wear a resolution to appoint the IP, who is then confirmed by creditors.

They also investigate director conduct in Tyne and Wear and ensure compliance with UK insolvency law.

Can I Choose My Own Insolvency Practitioner in Tyne and Wear?

In voluntary procedures in Tyne and Wear, such as a CVL or MVL, directors and shareholders can choose their own IP.
