Company Voluntary Arrangement
Company Voluntary Arrangement (CVA) is a formal insolvency procedure that enables financially distressed businesses to negotiate a binding agreement with creditors, allowing for the repayment of debts over an extended period. This arrangement provides companies the opportunity to restructure their financial obligations while continuing operations under the existing management.
Key Benefits of a CVA:
Enhanced Cash Flow: By consolidating debts into manageable payments, a CVA can quickly improve your company's cash flow.
Creditor Pressure Relief: Initiating a CVA halts threats such as winding-up petitions and alleviates pressure from creditors, including tax authorities like HMRC.
Operational Control Retention: Directors and shareholders maintain control over the company's operations, facilitating a focus on business recovery.
Cost Reduction: The arrangement allows for the termination of onerous contracts and, if necessary, the redundancy of employees, aiding in cost-cutting measures.
Lease Obligations Management: A CVA provides the ability to terminate property leases and vacate premises that are no longer viable.
Is a CVA Suitable for Your Business?
A CVA is most effective for companies that have a viable core business but are burdened by historic debts or cash flow issues. It offers a structured path to address financial challenges without resorting to liquidation. Engaging with a licensed insolvency practitioner can help determine if this solution aligns with your company's needs.
