    Selling debt to a debt buyer?

    The business has only a virtual office as far as I know. I spoke to debt collectors and they told me that the chance of recovery would be low as there would not be any physical assets to seize. Could they also freeze their bank account?

    UK based company - dropshipping from China

    Ok. But in this case, the supplier will have to know what price the Limited sold the good to the customer for? Otherwise, would be embarrassing if the customer sees the price the supplier charged. Also, how would it change if the supplier has fulfilment hubs in the EU (for example), ie has...

    the business depends on the "input" of us both. If one person is not able to bring any input, they should not benefit from it going forward. If the economic interest of the business falls in the hands of the creditor, the person in bankruptcy will likely not bring any input to the business...

    Articles of Association | provision for shareholder's bankruptcy

    To be honest, I am actually also a bit concerned about this (trustee might not be bound by it). Essentially, I have a JV with someone else and we both own the shares in the trading business through our HoldCos. The trading business relies on the work/input of us both. Therefore, I just want...

    Which bank do you recommend for Holding companies?

    I have just seen that the account balance limit is £50k for the free GO account and £250k for the paid for EXTRA account. I will get in touch with them to request a higher limit, but could be a deal breaker.

    Which bank do you recommend for Holding companies?

    Hi there, I have a bank account with Metro Bank but I am extremely dissatisfied with their customer service, with their connectivity (no XERO direct feed), and their app (I have a multi-currency account and the app does not show any balances or transactions!). Unfortunately, a number of banks...
