What this means for suppliers, creditors and counterparties
When an application under the Insolvency Act 1986 is filed, trade counterparties and lenders typically review their credit risk exposure. Key operational actions include:
1. Exposure Assessment: Review outstanding invoices and pending commitments.
2. Contractual Review: Check payment terms and retention of title provisions.
3. Monitoring Register Changes: Track public filings to identify formal court orders or advertisements promptly.
Performing a regular winding up search enables commercial risk teams to spot high-risk filings at the earliest stage.
