Alternatives to insolvency proceedings in the face of possible insolvency

With the healthcare crisis situation due to COVID-19, many companies are wondering how they will be able to meet their debts and whether they will find themselves in insolvency when it all passes.

To begin with, it is necessary to detail what insolvency is, in order to know if a person or company is really in such a situation.

The Insolvency Law establishes in its articles that:

“The debtor is in a state of insolvency if he is unable to regularly fulfill his obligations”.

Insolvency could therefore be defined as the inability to be able to pay debts.

At this point we must highlight the distinction between imminent insolvency and current insolvency. We will be facing imminent insolvency when the debtor foresees that it will not be able to comply regularly and punctually with its enforceable obligations; while insolvency will be current, when the debtor is unable to comply with its enforceable obligations.

  • The existence of attachments for pending executions affecting most of the debtor’s assets and rights.
