Restructure Cash Flow

Companies are not usually stopped by Losses, but failed Cashflow. Amidst the urgencies of sales and business operations, control of collecting monies due and timely payment of taxes and suppliers can slip. Accelerating payment demands and delayed receipts can then push even a profitable business into insolvency.

To prevent this we represent you with the company’s creditors and debtors, making arrangements and changing terms to create safe onwards cash management

Resist Statutory Demand

A Statutory Demand gives only 18 days to pay the amount claimed, negotiate its withdrawal or apply to the High Court to avert a Winding Up Petition. We look to achieve voluntary withdrawal, but otherwise file an appropriate defence. We are often able to persuade Creditors to settle, as they face a large costs bill if they lose a legal action and may get nothing in a Compulsory Liquidation.

Preventing Distraint requires preparing a safe defence before any Bailiff attends. If you have assets that are not already protected by charges, we can often protect them from attachment by selling them into third party ownership so that you can negotiate settlement from strength .

Avert Winding Up Petitions

If you receive a Winding Up Petition, we act immediately to get it withdrawn, or its advertising postponed.

Our Insolvency Solutions team often STOP these actions, negotiate payment, or delay them until the Director can devise a controlled outcome If the Petition has already been advertised, we can overtake the Compulsory Winding Up by an urgent Creditors Voluntary Liquidation, or prepare a Defence Package for the Official Receiver, which explains conduct of the Director(s) favourably so as to avoid your being pursued for personal liability.

Company Voluntary Arrangement

A CVA can sometimes offer a positive alternative to Creditors Voluntary Liquidation (CVL). The Director proposes a reduced sum settlement with creditors to cover all past liabilities, enabling the Company to continue to trade without interruption. Some downsides can be long delay negotiating uncertain acceptance, continuing liabilities and the need to be trading onwards with a high risk Credit Profile.

Phoenix
