A company administration
is now an extremely popular method for a company to deal with its financial
problems. In the last quarter of 2008, some 2000 companies took advice
and opted for the administration solution.
When a company administration is proposed it is generally
with the intention of saving the whole or part of the company as a going
concern, proposing a CVA or achieving a better realisation than might
be achieved if the company does not enter into an administration.
If the company has a trading business that would be
affected by any cessation in trade, then a company administration must
be considered. Any closure of stores, or for instance a public house,
may lead to loss of confidence, and a resulting loss of trade.
If the company is a people business and relies on its staff then it
will want to protect those staff and the relationships they have. A
liquidation may cause a people-based business to lose staff and contracts
before a rescue package can be put in place.
A company administration would also work for a business
that deals with perishable items and this can be combined with a centre-bind
which would help the administrator sell these items before they spoiled.
The proposed administrator will prepare his proposal,
and present it to court. If the court thinks that there is merit in
the proposal, time will be given to see those plans through to fruition.
The administrator will then have three months to complete matters before
the order expires. He may apply for more time if required, but he must
show a reasonable chance of success.
In the vast majority of cases a proposed administrator
will have an exit route in mind and move very quickly to put that in
place, before those deals expire.
