Many entrepreneurs come into contact with bankruptcy law. Usually not because of their own bankruptcy, but for example because a competitor, a debtor or creditor goes bankrupt. In case of bankruptcy, a receiver is appointed. A suspension of payment pronounced by the court is aimed at continuing the business and suspends the debtor’s payment obligation for a certain period of time. Bankruptcy law is also an effective means of collection and is used (if necessary) when debtors do not pay voluntarily.

As an entrepreneur, you always run the risk of directors’ liability. This means that you can be held personally liable for debts of your company, for example when the bookkeeping is not in order, when dividends are paid out while the company is not doing well, but also when fellow directors have made mistakes. It is wise to seek legal advice on directors’ liability, even when it does not seem to be an issue yet.
