11:00 - 12:00

Date: Tuesday 26 August 2025

Join us for an insightful webinar focused on key aspects of business recovery and corporate solvency, tailored for finance professionals, accountants, and business owners. This session will provide practical guidance on recognising the early warning signs of financial distress and the steps to take before a situation becomes unmanageable.

Key topics covered in the session include:

  • Recognising the Early Warning Signs:
    Understand the indicators that suggest a business may be heading toward financial difficulty. Learn when it is appropriate to involve an Insolvency Practitioner (IP), how early intervention can benefit stakeholders, and what red flags to look out for in your clients or your own business.
  • Solvent Liquidation – Members’ Voluntary Liquidation (MVL):
    Gain a clear understanding of MVLs as a tax-efficient way for solvent companies to wind up their affairs. We’ll cover when an MVL is appropriate, the procedural steps involved, and the potential benefits for directors and shareholders.
  • Hot Topics in Corporate Governance:
    A focused look at pressing issues such as directors’ duties in times of distress, the implications of Bounce Back Loans in recovery scenarios, and the risks associated with overdrawn director’s loan accounts. Find out how these issues are being treated in the current regulatory and recovery landscape.

This webinar is a must-attend for those advising or managing businesses navigating uncertain financial conditions.
