Saving a Company through Pre-Packaged Administration Sale
When a company is still viable but is facing legal threats and problems like financial difficulties, there is still a way for this company to be saved and avoid the possibility of closing down. A very popular method that is being practiced today by a number of companies is the pre pack administration. A ‘pre pack liquidation’ as it is commonly referred to, is the process wherein a company that is facing huge problems or legal threats will sell all or a part of its assets or business to an interested purchaser before an Insolvency Practitioner is appointed Administrator by the court.
The use of the pre-packaged administration sale is a legal and effective way of saving the company through selling the company or part of its assets to third party, to the existing directors, or to a “newco”. Companies who are in poor financial standing or are facing threats from its trade creditors, banks, HMRC for PAYE and VAT, or landlords should consider applying for a pre-packaged administration sale. A pre-pack will not only save the company but will also be beneficial to its creditors and employees. Pre-packs can improve returns to creditors and will also save jobs since the failed company is prevented from shutting down.
The Insolvency Practitioner appointed as administrator of the company effects the sale on his appointment. The administrator assigned in the pre-packaged sale should provide the creditors important information which concerns the sale. He must inform the creditors the name of the buyer of the company and the amount paid for the business. Insolvency Practitioners are required to keep a detailed record on why a pre-pack sale is the best option for the ailing company. They should make the directors understand that they are appointed to advise the company and not the directors. They must also encourage the directors to seek independent advice if they plan to acquire assets in the sale.
