Understanding your company rescue options

Company rescue is the formal process designed to prevent a business from failing. The goal is to avoid liquidation and preserve value for creditors, shareholders and employees while putting the company back on a sustainable footing. At Umbrella.UK Insolvency, we offer a range of proven business rescue solutions to support directors and companies in financial distress, including:

Company Voluntary Arrangement (CVA)

A CVA is a legally binding agreement between your company and its creditors, allowing you to repay debts over an agreed period while continuing to trade. This flexible rescue tool can:
 

  • Reduce immediate creditor pressure
  • Improve cash flow
  • Protect your business from legal action
  • Give you time to restructure and rebuild confidence with customers and suppliers

Company Administration

Placing your company into administration provides immediate legal protection from creditor action while a licensed insolvency practitioner works to restructure or sell the business as a going concern. Administration can:

  • Safeguard assets and jobs
  • Halt creditor enforcement (including winding-up petitions)
  • Provide a controlled environment for recovery or sale
Find out more
Pre-Pack Administration

A pre-pack administration allows for the sale of your business and assets to be arranged before entering administration. This ensures a seamless transition with minimal disruption to customers, staff and suppliers. It’s an effective way to:

  • Preserve business value
  • Retain customer relationships
  • Maintain continuity under new ownership or structure

What our clients tell us

Tom Fox was incredibly helpful as I prepared to liquidate a couple of companies - clear advice, a respectful approach to both myself as director and the creditors, and a reasonable fee structure vs many of the national IP's I spoke to whilst researching who to work with.

I engaged Umbrella accountants to oversee a Members Voluntary Liquidation for the small consultancy business I've been running. The team talked me through the MVL process, steps and requirements. The paperwork involved was well explained and straightforward, with the initial disbursement of funds handled very quickly and professionally under tight deadlines.

Umbrella.UK Insolvency guided me as sole Director of my small limited company, and the shareholders, through every step of a Members Voluntary Liquidation in a very efficient manner. The steps required were clearly laid out and proactively managed by their licensed practitioner. From first meeting through to an interim distribution of funds to shareholders took only a few days in our case. Thereafter, Umbrella will be managing all of the downstream actions required to complete the process with HMRC and Companies House, through to the final discharge of the company.

First of all, I would like to say a BIG Thank You for all of your assistance over the past year. I would not be in the positive state of recovery without Umbrella Insolvency. Your care and assistance at the application stage last summer, along with the advice throughout the year, has been great. I would not hesitate to tell anyone in my negative situation where to turn to.

Before I came to Umbrella.UK Insolvency I was in a bad place mentally due to debt because I believed I would be in my current situation for a long time to come. Umbrella.UK Insolvency walked me through my options and helped me pick the best one. I am genuinely amazed at what they managed to do for me and can now afford to live comfortably, and without the constant worry of debt looming over me.

I engaged Tom to arrange an IVA for me after I ran into financial difficulties as a result of the closure of my company. He introduced me to Sarah and both of them as a team worked tirelessly through Lockdown to get the best outcome for me and my family. Both Sarah and Tom were patient, thorough and incredibly compassionate for our situation. They attained the best outcome for us and I couldn't speak more highly of them. Thank you to you both, Amazing work.

Thank you very much for your assistance in a successful proposal. We are ever so grateful as this is a chance to transform our lives; or rather you have given us a second chance to have our lives in order. Thank you for your patience and perseverance throughout that you showed.

Thank you so much for your help with my IVA. As an ex-company Director my life took a downward spiral when creditors from my liquidated company called upon my personal guarantees. I had been treading water for months, ran up credit card debts and borrowed from family. When a creditor instigated bankruptcy proceedings against me I thought I was going to lose my house. I contacted Umbrella.UK Insolvency who stopped all the phone calls and threatening letters. Umbrella.UK Insolvency explained things in a way I could understand. They negotiated with creditors and my IVA went through, now I can sleep at night again and I kept my home. Thomas Fox was extremely knowledgeable and I truly thank him and his team.

Following a personal recommendation, we appointed Umbrella.UK Insolvency to handle the voluntary liquidation of our business (MVL). Tom and his team were excellent, keeping us well informed throughout and working effectively with the company's accountants to ensure all documentation was produced and filed on time. I have since recommended Umbrella.UK to friends looking for similar services and I have no hesitation in recommending them more widely.

Thank you to Tom Fox at Umbrella Insolvency for helping me close my limited company after being forced to close it due to IR35 issues.  Tom clearly has a lot of experience doing MVLs to help limited contractors like myself caught by IR35.  I was surprised by how much money I was actually left with. Very impressed, thank you!
