Running a business involves taking responsibility and being accountable for Director's responsibilities and duties.

Running up debts without consequences and not paying Creditors or taxes is not indicative of a serious business owner and the old adage "If you can't take the heat stay out of the kitchen" applies equally to business.

No matter what the cause is, the most important thing is to act immediately. We have seen many of these cases over the years and those directors that acknowledge they have issues come off far better than those that do not and in some cases can even turn their situation around.
