An individual voluntary arrangement begins with a proposal based on your financial circumstances and how much you are realistically able to afford to contribute towards an IVA, either on a monthly basis or from other assets you may own. The proposal is presented to the court and then to Creditors.

How does it work?

We tell the court the details of your proposal. A meeting of creditors is held, the date of the meeting and details of the proposals being sent to your creditors. Only those creditors who had notice of the meeting are bound by the arrangement, so it is important that you have accurate records of all your creditors’ names and addresses. Otherwise, the arrangement might fail because we cannot contact all the creditors and, therefore, bind them to it.

As a result, you are unable to suggest alternative approaches to help and to minimize the damage to your own business. An insolvent company can stay under your radar while still ordering supplies, before all hell breaks loose and it finally disappears from view, taking your firm’s capital with it.
