What leads to Company winding up?
You may wonder how a company ends up winding up. However little things piled over time lead to the eventual winding up of a company. For example, the type of financing a company chooses can determine whether it will end up being wound up or not. Capital financing falls in two categories: debt and equity financing. Equity financing is the money the owners of the business put in themselves. The amount is equivalent to a part of the business. The money is referred to as ‘shares’ and remains in the business until such a time of winding up company. However, this money cannot be a cause to wind up the company. The second type of financing is debt financing which involves taking money from external sources. These sources include banks or individuals, usually referred to as creditors. This is a good source for short-term projects. However if the projects flop the company may not be able to pay off the debts. The creditors therefore can get a winding up order in order to get at least some of their money back.
