Government announces end of temporary insolvency measures

Temporary measures brought in by the Corporate Insolvency and Governance Act 2020 to support businesses from insolvency during the pandemic will be phased out from 1 October.

New measures will be brought in to help smaller companies get back on their feet to give them more time to trade their way back to financial health before creditors can take action to wind them up. The new legislation will:

Protect businesses from creditors insisting on repayment of relatively small debts by temporarily raising the current debt threshold for a winding up petition to £10,000 or more.
Require creditors to seek proposals for payment from a debtor business, giving them 21 days for a response before they can proceed with winding up action.

These measures will be in force until 31 March 2022.
