Your Reliable Insolvency Service

If you find feel your company may be in financial trouble and cannot pay all of it’s creditors then it is probable time you sought the help and advice of an insolvency service.

An insolvency practitioner will offer his or her services to a business in the eventuality of insolvency or bankruptcy. The practitioner will take over the running of the business to ensure that no more debt can be accrued and to help the creditors, including staff and suppliers, to get as much as possible that is owed.

During a bankruptcy process, the insolvency service will become what’s known as the Official Receiver and in doing so will take control of the bankruptcy and weigh up the assets of the company. The insolvency service will use this appointment to ensure the company navigates through insolvency within the confines of the law and will also decide how much is owed to creditors.

Whether it’s Administration, Liquidation or Bankruptcy, insolvency affects thousands of businesses in the UK every year and practitioners go in to many of these to dot the I’s, cross the T’s and try to pay the creditors. Of course, insolvency practitioners can also play a vital role in more informal arrangements between company directors and creditors, which may provide alternative routes to the legal processes. With the help of an insolvency service, companies and creditors can develop more mutual arrangements, allowing for payments to leave the company without damaging growth.

As well as taking an active role in a company, be it necessary or not, insolvency experts can also provide external advice and support to companies that are entering financial difficulty. This is an often-underutilized form of information and expertise as getting information and early support can make a big difference towards the outcome of a sticky financial period.

When a company liquidates voluntarily, such as in the case of Members Voluntary Liquidations (MVL) and Creditors Voluntary Liquidations (CVL), a practitioner will be appointed as liquidator and will be responsible for the closing the company and paying creditors. In the case of compulsory liquidations, which come about though creditor petitions to court and the issue of a winding up order, an insolvency practitioner is appointed by a court instead of requested by the company.

As well as having a responsibility to the company and to the selling of assets for the best price to help creditors, the insolvency service will also have to carry out an investigation into the company’s failings in the case of a CVL. This will help the creditors and the ex-company directors to establish what went wrong while helping future businesses to learn from any mistakes. While investigating a company in liquidation and controlling the winding up, insolvency practitioners must follow strict guidelines to protect the organisation’s confidentiality.
