A Guide to Administration and Company Voluntary Arrangements

If a company gets into financial difficulties, it can quickly be unable to pay its debts and may be wound up by the people or businesses to whom it owes money.

However, if the underlying business is sound, it may be possible to rescue the company and allow it to continue trading.

Administration and Company Voluntary Arrangements (CVAs) are formal procedures that a company can pursue as alternatives to being wound up, or liquidation.

This factsheet provides an introduction to administration and CVAs. It explains when each procedure can be used and describes some of the main processes involved.

This factsheet should be used in conjunction with our fact sheet, Company Insolvency and Liquidation.
