FAQ

Most frequent questions and answers

All businesses that trade with overseas companies or sell to customers globally must be fully aware of and comply with any commercial law that applies within that country. International commercial regulations, including the Distance Selling Regulations for example, could apply to your business’s activities. There can be high penalties for any business that fails to comply with these regulations.

In the first instance, you should try to negotiate with the debtor. If this fails, then there are a number of routes you can go down.  It is advisable to first send out a letter before action demanding immediate payment. If the debtor disputes the outstanding amount, a solicitor can negotiate on your behalf to agree an acceptable settlement. If a settlement cannot be agreed, then other dispute resolution methods such as mediations or court proceedings will need to be considered.

You should not ignore a statutory demand, even if you believe it is an error. You have 18 days to respond to the statutory demand. If you do not respond, the creditor can either issue a Bankruptcy Petition against you or apply to ‘wind up’ your company to force it into compulsory liquidation. Therefore, it is advisable to challenge the statutory demand and try to negotiate with the creditor on a settlement.
