No / This paper investigates the impact of corporate ownership and control on the outcome of
financial distress. It is argued that the likelihood of financial distress resulting in insolvency
depends on whether firms have controllers, the type of controllers and their cash flow ownership.
Using a sample of 484 UK firms, 81 of which filed for insolvency, we show that financially
distressed firms with controllers are more likely to be insolvent than widely held firms,
where the probability of insolvency is greater when controllers are family or financial institutions.
However, the probability of insolvency reduces significantly as the controllers’ cash
flow ownership increases beyond 10%
