In Australia it is illegal to trade while insolvent, that means it's also illegal to employ people whom you cannot pay. Similar laws probably exist in the UK.
As for outstanding orders, we don't know if fulfillment of those orders would be profitable, or if the company could continue operating until the orders were fulfilled. If you have taken deposits from people that makes for a tricky situation.
