Economic downturn, looming insolvency?

Spotting signs of distress in your business

Business insolvency may result from the inability of a business to pay off its debt as they become due or that a business doesn’t have sufficient assets to cover its debts.

The process in which a business becomes insolvent takes time, so it is possible to spot the warning signs if you look at your business objectively.

Here are our five top operational tips to avoid going under:

Establish and follow a business plan that includes forecasts
Ensure adequate capital reserves are available by having either cash reserves or access to borrowings
Impose strict credit control and debt collection procedures
Ensure that your accounting system is providing you with real time information
Regularly review underused assets and eliminate unnecessary costs
