When a company is experiencing financial distress, one option is to place it into liquidation and bring the business to an orderly conclusion. However, in some instances the company may be viable in spite of its current financial difficulties. If there is a realistic chance of being able to rescue the business, the company can be placed into administration, a process which ultimately looks to save a company through a process of financial and operational restructuring.
As with all formal insolvency processes, a licensed insolvency practitioner will need to be appointed, and in the case of administration, they will assume control of the company while a way forward is plotted. Administration is not right for every company, however, when it is deemed to be appropriate, it can be a powerful process which can help save a company, protect employees, and mitigate creditor losses.
Concerned about the National Insurance increase?
For the 2024-25 tax year, the rate of employer National Insurance increases from 13.8% to 15% adding yet more pressure onto already squeezed cash flows.

As licensed insolvency practitioners we can explain your options and help you plot a way forward. Call today on 0800 063 9262.
Not every company is able to be placed into administration; it must serve a point and be able to satisfy one of three statutory aims:
The company is granted a moratorium. This is a powerful legal ringfence which is placed around the company preventing creditors from commencing any litigation action. The moratorium provides the breathing space needed for the administrator to assess the position of the company and for a plan to be developed which will meet the aims of the administration.

Liquidation Portal
For Company Directors
Remaining in administration is not a long-term solution for a company; administrators are required to adopt the employment contracts of the company after 14 days, and they are also not able to run the company at a loss and worsen the position of creditors. Sooner or later therefore, the company will have to exit administration and the safety this provides.
