ADMINISTRATION SPECIALISTS
HERE TO GUIDE YOU
OVERVIEW OF ADMINISTRATION
Administration is a UK Court approved procedure that protects a limited company, or a partnership, from any creditor action.
It is a fast process and in most circumstances an Administration can be put in place in a day.
The outcome of Administration may be:
A return of the company to the directors in due course
A sale as a going concern to a new owner (this may be by a pre-pack Administration)
A gradual wind down, sale and breakup of the business assets
The choice of Administrator is usually a board of directors’ decision. However, a creditor can apply to appoint an Administrator as can a lender with a debenture. If your company has a fixed and floating charge registered at Companies House, then you will have a debenture and need the lenders consent to choose an Administrator. In most cases, the lender will consent to your choice, but it depends on the level of debt and each bank or lender’s policy.
The Court will then appoint the chosen Administrator to oversee the company during the period of Administration.
The Administrator must be a qualified Licensed Insolvency Practitioner. The Administrator will usually be appointed with another Licensed Insolvency Practitioner, so they act as Joint Administrators.

They did exactly what they said they would do and explained it all in non-technical language. I would have been lost without Administration. Without them we would have lost our business.
