Insolvency is the state of being unable to pay the money owed, by a person or by his company on time and the person is said to be insolvent. Insolvency is a term for when an individual or an organization can no longer meet its financial obligations to its lenders as debts that become due. Insolvency is likely to be involved in formal arrangements with creditors, such as setting up alternative payment arrangements. Insolvency can arise due to poor management of the company, a reduction in cash inflow, or an increase in expenses. Insolvency is a state of financial distress in which person or his company is unable to pay the debts incurred by them and that can lead to insolvency proceedings, in which legal action is taken against the insolvent entity(the person or his company) and assets may be liquidated to pay off outstanding debts which the person or his company holds. The sole reason for insolvency in a company is due to its poor cash flow and due to a not well designed corporate governance plan of the company. When a business becomes insolvent, this means that their debts (liabilities) are greater than the value of their assets and income of that company. In effect, they are not able to pay back money owed, either currently or in the future. A company can be insolvent even if their assets outweigh their liabilities if the assets are not easily converted to cash needed for the company to make the necessary payments for the debts that are incurred by the person himself or his company.
