Liquidations - Our Approach
At SEOIGE O'FAOLAIN & Co, we fully understand that business owners and company directors are under pressure as never before. The economic difficulties facing businesses and individuals in Ireland are catastrophic. The decline in construction and property markets, allied to the banking crisis and global recessionary trends have created a sharp decline in economic activity, business transactions and confidence levels and have prompted a considerable deterioration in all spending patterns. As a result, many businesses and individuals are facing what are insurmountable financial problems.
Added to these ever increasing financial pressures are adverse currency movements, and massive credit constraints. Any or all of these can plunge a company into serious financial distress. Whether these factors occur in isolation or converge, they typically trigger a host of problems, including underperformance, declining sales, and liquidity and cash-flow blockages, inevitably resulting in insolvency, and the demise of the business, often with serious financial consequences for owners.
Significant decline in activity is particularly evident in certain sectors – construction, recruitment, retail etc. With high business and personal debt levels, the prospect of personal guarantees being called is causing extraordinary stress for overwhelmed business owners.The people at SEOIGE O'FAOLAIN & Co have a real world understanding of the position you are in.
