There are three main types of insolvency procedure which can help a limited company which is insolvent.
CVL or Creditors Voluntary Liquidation
This is where a company in Bradford, calls a meeting of it's creditors to advise them that it is insolvent and as prudent directors they have to close the company to stop any further loses from occurring. This is a simple procedure and will be well known to company directors. In a CVL it may be possible for the directors of the business to purchase the assets and viable business from the Liquidator. Many businesses in Bradford have been helped by such a mechanism.
CVA or Company Voluntary Arrangement
This is a solution whereby the company which is essentially viable offers to pay back to it's creditors a set amount in the £ of money owed, over a period of time, which is usually 3 ' 5 years. This enables the company to continue in business but stops all creditors from taking action which could prejudice the survival of the company. Companies in and around Bradford have been using this procedure since 1986.
Administration
The administration procedure is now a tool used quire frequently by businesses in Bradford to close down one company and pre-pack the sale of the old business to a new company, whilst preserving the value of the business. It maintains employment and creates a viable new entity whilst at the same time delivering a better return to creditors than might otherwise be the case. It is commonly now known as a pre pack admin.
