Corporate Insolvency
Corporate insolvency refers to a situation where a company is unable to pay its debts as they become due. In such cases, the company may seek legal protection through insolvency laws, which allow for the restructuring of its debts, liquidation of assets, or finding a way to continue operating. The process involves assessments of the company's financial situation, potential plans to pay creditors, and sometimes negotiations to keep the business running. Ultimately, insolvency laws aim to balance the interests of creditors with the possibilities of business recovery or fair asset distribution.

Corporate insolvency occurs when a company can no longer pay its debts as they become due. This situation often leads to financial distress, where the company's liabilities exceed its assets. When insolvency is imminent, the company may seek restructuring or enter formal procedures like administration or liquidation. Administration aims to rescue the business, while liquidation involves selling off assets to pay creditors. The process is governed by specific legal frameworks to protect stakeholders and ensure fair treatment, ultimately aiming to either revive the company or distribute its remaining value in an orderly manner.
