06

Receivership

Clear options when a creditor may appoint a receiver over some or all company assets.

Administration

Protect value. Find the right way forward.

If you have serious cash-flow problems and are concerned creditors may take action, administration may be the answer. It can allow a business to continue trading while steps are taken to secure the sale of the company or its assets.

Ellis Breese can take over management to secure protection, avoid legal action and find the best route forward. This may involve a pre-pack administration, where the business and assets are sold to a new company or third party once an administrator is appointed.

Every situation is different. We will explain the practical and legal implications clearly before you make any decision.
