Bankruptcy and Insolvency Services

What Are Bankruptcy and Insolvency?

Bankruptcy is a legal process that allows individuals or businesses unable to meet their financial obligations to eliminate or restructure their debts under the protection of a bankruptcy court. It can offer a fresh start by discharging most debts, but it also has significant impacts on credit and asset ownership.

Insolvency refers to the state where an individual or business cannot pay their debts as they come due. It can lead to various legal proceedings aimed at addressing and resolving the financial imbalance, including bankruptcy.
