financial insolvency

Cannot pay debts

Financial insolvency is the state of being unable to pay debts as they come due, or having liabilities that exceed assets.

It's the technical term for what people mean when they say someone is broke or underwater: The company filed for bankruptcy after months of financial insolvency.

Insolvency may be temporary or signal impending collapse.
