Debts & Insolvency
Wind Up, Sell, or See a Trustee? Comparing Your Options

Wind up
Fits when the business can pay all its debts. You close in an orderly sequence and distribute what remains.
Sell
Fits when the business has value to a buyer. Selling assets or shares may leave you with more after tax.
See a licensed insolvency trustee
Fits when debts exceed assets. Proposals, bankruptcy and receivership are handled by trustees.
