Liability rattles the directors

Image
In good times people pay their debts and credit control takes a back seat. There is a corporate veil between a director’s money and the company’s funds. This means that creditors can sue the company but not the director. This is good and sensible commercial practice unless you are the person who is owed the money and then it becomes a charter for cheats and scoundrels. In bad times, experienced creditors get in first, make threats and are quick to take court proceedings.  Here are a few sabres for creditors to rattle to worry directors-      1. Deliberately incurring debts with no chance of paying them back is fraud. If debtors believe that you might call the cops, they are more likely to pay.           2.  Insolvent trading. This lifts the veil and directors can be held personally responsible.           3.  An investigation by the body which regulates companies. This raises the prospect of fines a...

Heed the bank’s advice

Banks say they love you and trust you but when you get there you find they’ve chained the pens to the counter. A client whose business had been sent to the wall commented the other day that being with the same bank for thirty years seemed to count for nothing.

This might mean selling your property at auction for whatever price you can get, however low. Depressing stuff. In this scenario, the bank manager is not a Dr Evil or Mini Me (although the likeness can be uncanny). In fact, the bank manager is a very good source of information and wise counsel. They hav...

Copyright - What is it?

Image
The great thing about being industriously creative is that copies of your creative work can be sold again and again for years and years. But do you have ownership? Have you given it away? Or did you not own it in the first place, i.e. your boss owns it?    When I say anything creative, I mean for example books, articles, training materials, plays, drawings, paintings, graphics, music and songs, those photos of the dog all sorts of creative stuff. If you create something good, other people will want it.    At present, you use the creative works of others anyway, and are never challenged, but attitudes are changing. People will increasingly enforce their IP rights over creative works that they own. So will you. Such works are protected by Copyright literally, the right to copy. Normally if you create the work, you have the right to copy it, and have the right to allow other people to copy it. Copyright is a very powerful protection.    If you are a twisted in...
