Understanding the Pros and Cons of Voluntary Insolvency
Choosing voluntary insolvency is a life-changing decision that can offer relief—but it’s important to weigh both the advantages and the risks.
When Debts Become Unmanageable
One major benefit of voluntary liquidation is freedom from debt obligations. If handled correctly, it may offer a clear path to fresh financial start.
Shield from Creditors
Entering into voluntary sequestration can provide legal protections that freeze creditor action, giving you time to reorganize your next steps.
Asset Risk
While you might gain relief, voluntary sequestration may also involve selling off property to pay off debts, and this can include homes depending on the case.
Long-Term Credit Implications
Voluntary insolvency will affect your financial standing for several years, making it harder to get housing in the future.
