I run a limited company with assets for running the business. If I am made personally bankrupt what happens to the company and its assets. Can I make my wife director and become an employee ?

Hi Bill.B

One of your bankruptcy restrictions is that you canot be a director of a company whilst bankrupt. There is nothing to stop you making your wife a director and resigning yourself. You still have to earn a living so you could work for your company. However, please remember that you do not want to earn so much money that you end up giving most of it to the OR on your bankruptcy.

All the best
