What is the difference between insolvency, bankruptcy, and liquidation?

It’s basically the same thing, with a few caveats. In a business sense, there are several kinds of business failure, but two forms of failure have no legal status: going out of business and becoming insolvent. Insolvency happens when the total liabilities of a company exceed the total assets. For example, if you have $10,000 in assets and $20,000 in liabilities, your company is insolvent.

In order to be declared bankrupt as a person or a company (to be "bankrupt" or "insolvent"), you must go through a formal process. This process usually begins with a petition to a court that explains how your debt has become unmanageable, and how you cannot pay your creditors. The court will then make an order declaring bankruptcy or ordering your creditors to accept less than full payment for their debts.

Insolvency describes the condition in which one cannot pay one's debts when they fall due. Bankruptcy is the legal status that results from being unable to pay one's debts. Liquidation is the process of selling off assets in an orderly manner to pay off creditors. Different countries have different processes for handling these three situations

One of the most common mistakes people make when they are talking about bankruptcy is to say that someone is going bankrupt. This is not the case. You can go bankrupt if you are an individual or a company, but this is not the same as insolvency or liquidation.
