Company Voluntary Arrangement (CVA)

A Company Voluntary Arrangement (CVA) is an alternative to liquidating your company allowing it to trade out of its financial difficulties over a specified period of time.

A Company Voluntary Arrangement (CVA) is a rescue procedure which enables a financially troubled company to reach a binding agreement with its creditors about payment of all, or part of its debts, over an agreed period of time.

    Process for a Company Voluntary Arrangement (CVA)

    A Company Voluntary Arrangement (CVA) proposal is drafted by the company directors with the assistance of our Insolvency Practitioner, known as the Nominee. The proposal is sent to the company creditors outlining the CVA and giving them notice of the creditors meeting.

    At the creditors’ meeting at least 75% (in value) of the voting creditors must approve the CVA for it to be passed. The approved CVA legally binds everyone to the arrangement whether they voted or not.

    The CVA will come to a successful conclusion on or before its 5th anniversary and any outstanding unsecured debt will be written off and the company is legally free from debt.
