Overdrawn Directors Loan Accounts
When you, as the Director, owe money to the company, it results in an overdrawn Directors Loan Account. This could occur from taking a loan or receiving excessive dividends when the company lacks sufficient profit. While having an overdrawn director’s loan is not unusual, if the company approaches formal processes like liquidation, the overdrawn amount becomes an asset, and the liquidator may pursue the director personally. It’s crucial to assess this situation before entering any formal processes to avoid inadvertently complicating your personal financial matters.
Consult with us to evaluate potential implications before making decision.
Personal Guarantees
A personal guarantee involves the director personally vouching for a company’s debt in the event of default, often associated with bank overdrafts and commercial loans. Ensure you review the documentation to identify any personal guarantees.
If the company falters, the responsibility to settle the debt falls on you, the Director. Consider this when contemplating liquidation or determining the post-closure strategy.
We assist directors daily in navigating personal guarantee issues, offering guidance both pre- and post-closure.
Bounce Back Loan Misuse
Originally intended for business purposes, the Bounce Back Loan allowed a maximum of 25% of the company’s 2019 turnover or predicted turnover with substantial evidence. If used for personal benefit, the Liquidator treats it as a Directors Loan or Illegal Dividends, pursuing the debt personally.
If your earnings involve salary and dividends, consult with us BEFORE entering a formal process to avoid potential pitfalls. We thoroughly assess all aspects of the Bounce Back Loan confidentially and at no cost before deciding on the company’s closure.
We can assist you in navigating these challenging times and guide your business towards recovery.
Here are common questions we address:
- Can I be compelled to Liquidate?
- Is it possible to write off an Overdrawn Directors Loan?
- What occurs with an Overdrawn Directors Loan during Liquidation?
- Can I escape a Personal Guarantee?
- How does company liquidation impact me personally?
- Will I face investigation if I opt for Liquidation?
- If I’m a sole trader unable to repay the Bounce Back Loan am I personally liable?
