Should You Consider Voluntary Insolvency?
When you're under financial pressure, voluntary sequestration may be a potential route—but knowing the benefits and risks is essential.
Peace of Mind
Voluntary liquidation can help pause interest accumulation, offering significant emotional and mental relief.
Organized Debt Strategy
Instead of chaotic repayment, voluntary sequestration gives you a structured, legal framework to settle your obligations transparently.
Loss of Control
One key risk is handing over financial control to trustees during voluntary sequestration, which may limit your influence over asset distribution and decisions.
Effect on Employment and Business
Voluntary sequestration may affect professional roles, especially in finance or directorship positions, and might restrict business operations.
Consider All Paths
Debt review, consolidation, or informal settlements may also help, and should be considered before finalizing voluntary insolvency.
