Should You Consider Voluntary Insolvency?

When you're under financial pressure, voluntary sequestration may be a potential route—but knowing the benefits and risks is vital.

Stress Reduction

Voluntary insolvency can help prevent lawsuits, offering significant emotional and mental relief.

Structured Resolution

Instead of chaotic repayment, voluntary insolvency gives you a structured, legal framework to settle your obligations cleanly.

Loss of Control

One key risk is handing over financial control to trustees during voluntary sequestration, which may limit your influence over asset distribution and decisions.

Effect on Employment and Business

Voluntary sequestration may affect professional roles, especially in finance or directorship positions, and might restrict business operations.

Consider All Paths

Debt review, consolidation, or informal settlements may also help, and should be considered before finalizing voluntary insolvency.
