The Difference Between Liquidation and Administration

Liquidation is when you sell a company or an asset for money. Administration is when you hire someone to manage and run the company for profit. When a company starts to suffer financially, or an investor wants their money back, it goes into administration. This means there is a process which will take place to try and make the company successful again. Administrators are usually appointed by the court and they must carry out reasonable instructions given to them by the company’s directors. If a company is put into liquidation, then the directors have no more authority to make decisions for the company and an administrator will be appointed instead.

During the administration process, the administrator will look at all the options open to him or her which might make the company profitable again. If a company continues to lose money and is unable to pay creditors, then it will be put into liquidation. When a company is put into liquidation, it will then follow certain legal procedures. The company will be frozen so that nothing can happen without the court’s permission, and access to the company premises and all its records has to be gained by a liquidator. As a liquidator administrating a company, your main purpose is to ensure that the company continues trading. If this does not happen and you decide to go into administration, then you will have to exit it for good. Voluntary Administration is a method of solving financial difficulties for companies that face imminent ruin without the need to court proceedings.

How does an administration process differ from when a company is liquidated?

The main difference between liquidation and administration is that an administrator has to try to make the company successful again. This is different from liquidation which is when you sell everything and walk away, leaving nothing behind. In liquidation, everything goes with the assets, including the accounts. If a company is put into administration as an operator then there will be a manager appointed to take charge of the running of the business on a daily basis. Liquidation is much easier because you don’t have to worry about the running of the business and doing anything other than selling up. You don’t have to audit the company accounts either. In an administration process, you have to do everything. You have to sell assets, oversee the daily running of the company and sign off on any spending. It is also possible that you will be in court defending yourself against claims brought by creditors, which can make things very stressful.

It is possible that you will be able to keep more of the company assets and make a better profit if you go into administration. The administration process is not as easy as that of liquidation. If a company goes into liquidation, then all the directors are automatically disqualified from being a director in any other companies. This disqualification can carry on for seven years after the date of being disqualified.

Can a Company Administration End In Liquidation?

When an administrator is appointed in order to run the affairs of a company, there is a possibility that this task will result in the demise of the company itself. When this occurs, owners of claims receivable to the company may not be paid by the liquidator; they may have to seek compensation from him or her. In turn, the liquidator will have to defend himself, or herself, and all this will take place while the company is still in existence. In order to help prevent this situation from happening, the administrators will usually be appointed by the court. However, if they need to be forced into taking on their role as administrator, they can be made to do so through a court order. The court might impose a penalty on them if they choose not to take on the role of administrator or liquidator.

You have considerable experience in the fields of business and administration before you can become an administrator. It is best that you also have qualification and previous experience in the field as well. It is also best if you have proficiency in a foreign language, especially if your clients are located outside of your home country.

Can You Avoid Liquidation with a Company Administration?

When a company is put into administration, the court can be persuaded that there are still assets available as well as any money owed by the company to creditors, then you can liquidate. However, if the administration has failed and there is no choice but to liquidate, then it will be possible for you to get an administrator back with some of the money which was received from selling off assets. This process of putting assets into a company and then selling them off will be known as asset stripping. When a company is put into administration, it is possible to reduce the value of the assets and therefore the amount of money creditors will receive.

Although administration is similar to liquidation in that a company goes under, it is different in that you can still get value for some of the assets which are left behind. It is possible to get a large proportion of the value of the assets when you enter administration. When you go into administration, it is possible to sell off some of the debtors as well as other types of assets. Qualified and experienced insolvency practitioners can locate and seize unpaid debts, which can be used in order to make a profit for others as well as themselves.

Conclusion:

As a company operator, you will be required to do certain things which are not required when a company is put into administration. When this happens, you will have to appoint an administrator who will have a specific role in the running of the firm. These administrators are normally appointed by the court. It is possible for companies to be run by a liquidator so that you don’t have to worry about it being sold off and put into liquidation. It is not possible to avoid liquidation altogether as it is required when a company is found to be insolvent. However, if you get an administrator back that you can trust, then it is possible that a lot of the money will be saved.
