Company Voluntary Arrangements
The CVA is an insolvency procedure whereby the management of the company remain in full control.
An agreement between a company and its creditors to a plan of reorganisation, which involves either the delaying or a reduced payment of debts.
The Proposal includes the appointment of a Licensed Insolvency Practitioner, as nominee, whose role is to review the proposal and recommend to the court that the proposal be put to the creditors.
Following Court Approval, a separate meeting of the company and its creditors will take place with a view to approving the proposal. All parties are entitled to vote at the meeting.
Administration Order
A Licensed Insolvency Practitioner is appointed as administrator by the Court on the petition of either the company, its Directors or one or more creditors.
The court will make the order if one or more of the following can be achieved;
- Survival of the company as a going concern
- Approval of a company voluntary agreement
- An arrangement between the company and any named persons under section 425 of the Company's Act 1985
- A more advantageous realisation of company assets than under the terms of a winding up order.
Informal Compositions
There are many types of Informal Compositions. A moratorium is a freezing of debts. It is an informal agreement between Debtor and creditor. It is used to give the Debtor more time to put his/her affairs into order. Its purpose is firstly for all creditors to be paid back in full.
This scheme normally works when creditors are few and can agree that it is a better return than bankruptcy.
Factoring
If you are selling goods or services to businesses and have to wait for them to pay you, then Factoring could be the answer.
Many businesses offer to let their customers pay after say 30 days and end up waiting a lot longer. If you factored your invoices - subject to the terms and conditions agreed with the lender- then you could have up to 90% of the invoice value within 24 hours.
Factoring is a great way to raise money to help run your business.
