  • Sorry Nikki but this appears to be an identical thread to yesterday https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/3804379

    I stand by my advice of then to post a Statement of Affairs so we're able to give some advice.

    Also, if your business is a seasonal one, it really needs to make enough money during the season to sustain itself during the off season time. It sounds as if this is not the case (?) in which case you need to think long and hard about whether it's feasible to continue.

    Anyway, pop up the SOA and we'll see if we can help.

  • As a 'company director', I would assume your company's affairs are separated from your personal affairs

    Or are you a 'sole trader'?

    They are separate as Ltd Co but not taking wages has effected my personal afairs
  • Please do the SOA - without seeing the full picture, we're unable to offer any real advice.......

    As somebody advised you on your other thread, business debts are a whole new can of worms

    You probably need to walk away from your business, and tell all your creditors that, in the absence of any income, you cannot afford to pay them any more

    Some of your customers might be prepared to continue on a cash basis.....???

    Otherwise, you might find yourself on the streets

    Which is why it's imperative that a seasonal business can sustain itself throughout the off-season.
