    There can be.

    Can you please be more specific, to save me listing lots of possibilities?

        Directors can be held responsible but it would depend on the reasons thet the company failed and how long it was running. More details would help in finding answers on this forum.

            That's quite OK but if directors are seen to be aware that business was heading towards failure, then they will be deemed to be part of that fair,ure.Avoiding this is often by voluntary liquidation. In other words,the director/s have seen problems and before it gets into real disaster, then they have acted in good faith by consulting their accountants for advice in good time.
