A guide, not advice. This explains how things generally work. A licensed insolvency practitioner will tell you what applies to your company or to you.
Company Administration in Manchester
If your Manchester-based business is under financial pressure but fundamentally viable, company administration can provide the protection and time you need to rescue it. Our Manchester-based, ICAEW-licensed insolvency practitioners handle administrations across the city and Greater Manchester.
What Administration Does
Administration places a legal moratorium - a freeze on creditor enforcement - giving a viable business time and space to:
- Rescue the company as a going concern
- Sell the business and assets (including via a pre-pack) to preserve value
- Achieve a better result for creditors than immediate liquidation
During administration, an administrator - a licensed insolvency practitioner - takes control, assesses the business, and puts proposals to creditors.
When Administration Is the Right Route
Administration suits a Manchester business where:
- The business is viable but under acute creditor pressure - a winding-up petition, HMRC enforcement, or landlord action
- A sale of the business as a going concern is being considered
- The company needs immediate protection to restructure
