Directors Disqualification
Directors who do not run their companies properly can face disqualification. This means you will not be able to continue to be a director, nor be involved in the management or promotion of a company.
Situations where disqualification might arise include:
- allowing the company to trade recklessly
- trading while the company is insolvent
- breaches of commercial morality
- failing to keep company books and records
- paying yourself too much
The length of disqualification will depend on why you are being disqualified but can be as much as 15 years. Breaching a disqualification is a criminal offence.
