When a company experiences financial distress, it may need to enter a formal insolvency procedure such as liquidation or administration. In these situations, it is essential to engage a licensed insolvency practitioner. Molly Monks, a fully qualified and licensed insolvency practitioner, has the expertise to act as a liquidator, administrator, or carry out other formal insolvency roles. Only licensed practitioners like Molly can legally be appointed to manage these processes, ensuring that the company complies with all statutory obligations while pursuing the most appropriate outcomes.

Common Misconceptions About Insolvency Practitioners

Despite the critical role of insolvency practitioners, many directors are hesitant to seek advice due to misconceptions about the profession. A common myth is that insolvency practitioners act solely in the interests of creditors. While it is true that licensed practitioners have a legal duty to act in the best interests of creditors, this does not mean they work against directors. Directors themselves share a responsibility to consider creditor interests, creating a shared objective between both parties. Molly Monks takes a balanced approach, providing advice that seeks the best possible solution for the company while fulfilling statutory responsibilities.
