What’s involved? – CVA terms?

What % of debts are paid?

This is not fixed, but negotiable. It can be different for different classes of Creditor – Staff (100%) – HMRC – Landlord – Trade. Clearly the overall commitment must be one which the forward business forecast shows to be achievable from post-tax profits.

A lump sum settlement

Will normally offer Creditors monies not otherwise available to them. This may be a voluntary payment from a third-party on the company’s behalf (the Directors themselves? Friends? a partnering commercial enterprise?). Or it might be a pledge of funds that will only fall due to the company at a future date if it continues to trade

An extended payment proposal

Will be supported by an accurate current balance sheet and recent trading performance history and a forward business forecast covering the period over which the Company says it will make payments to its Creditors from operating profits.

• After CVA is completed credit agencies can show CVA debts settled
