Insolvency is a state of financial distress for an individual or company.
It occurs when that entity is no longer able to meet the financial obligations they have agreed upon with their lenders or creditors.
When insolvency proceedings are initiated, the creditor who is not being paid properly may take legal action against the entity that has fallen behind on its payments.
This can lead to liquidation of assets by the entity against whom the proceedings have been initiated, restructuring of debt, and damages to the entity’s credit rating.
