Formal Arrangements with Creditors

The appointment of a Voluntary Administrator is a company's last resort. It is critical for directors to explore all options before appointing a Voluntary Administrator. 180 Group are not administrators. We represent directors' interests, unlike administrators, who once appointed, are required to represent the interests of creditors.

The voluntary administration regime is designed to maximise the chances of a business, or part of a business, continuing in operation, or results in creditors receiving a better return than would result from an immediate liquidation.

It is a fact that 65 to 70% of all companies which go into administration end up in liquidation. Why does the administration process fail with such regularity?

• No Plan - Lack of planning by directors prior to entering administration.
• No Finance - Failure to obtain finance prior to entering administration.
• Administrators are personally liable - Administrators, once appointed are personally liable for all debts incurred during administration and therefore cautious.
• Cost - formal administration often outweighs the net benefit.
