WHAT IS THE
Voluntary administration process like?
Our Voluntary Administration process is easy to initiate, we just need a Resolution by a majority of directors. We set it all out so all they need to do is sign on the dotted line.
Our Voluntary Administration process is usually completed in a little over a month. During that time, there is a moratorium on any recovery action by creditors against the company and it stops the enforcement of personal guarantees against directors. Our Voluntary Administration process is designed to avoid the involvement of the Courts.
At the end of the process, a meeting of creditors is held and the creditors vote on their desired outcome. Our aim is for a Deed of Company Arrangement to be proposed and for the creditors to accept that Deed. When that is achieved, the Deed is binding on all creditors, including those who voted against the proposal.
WHAT IS THE
Cost of voluntary administration?
Voluntary Administration is not the solution to every problem, and cost is often a limiting factor. The cost varies widely depending on whether the company continues to trade, the size of the organisation and the complexity of the proposed strategy.
The cost can be covered by the value of the company’s assets if they are being put to sale, or the company’s ongoing turnover if it continues to trade. We’ll be happy to make an estimate of our fees during your free consultation period.
Voluntary Administration v Liquidation
The simple difference is Voluntary Administration is intended to save or sell a viable business, where liquidation is designed to close a company with a business that is not viable. So if you want to save your business the choice is clear – Voluntary Administration.
