Is your business viable? Do you have the potential to earn income from the business? Your accountant believes you should not be in business. The business appears to be losing money, since you owe the government and have not been able to pay them.<BR/><BR/>If you believe you can turn the business around and make it profitable, it may make sense to stay in business. However, if each month you continue to lose money, you would be better off closing the business, selling whatever assets the business has, and using that money to pay the government, or to live on.<BR/><BR/>As a business owner myself I understand the advantages of being self-employed. However, if you are losing money, you may be better off working at a regular job where you at least get a paycheque every week.<BR/><BR/>I suggest you discuss this again with your accountant, and if the debts are more than you can manage you should also consult a trustee to discuss the bankruptcy option.J.
