Understanding the Pros and Cons of Voluntary Insolvency

Choosing voluntary insolvency is a life-changing decision that can help you regain control—but it’s important to weigh both the benefits and the drawbacks.

Escaping Overwhelming Debt

One major benefit of voluntary insolvency 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, offering space to plan your next steps.

Potential Property Loss

While you might gain relief, voluntary liquidation may also involve selling off property to pay off debts, and this can include homes depending on the case.

Long-Term Credit Implications

Voluntary liquidation will damage your credit for several years, making it harder to get loans in the future.
