Voluntary Administration Process of a Gold Coast Business
Having a company that goes into voluntary administration can be very tough. When a company is insolvent, it means that it is unable to pay its debts, thus it has to go through liquidation. But, instead of proceeding to liquidation, the business owners can choose to go through voluntary administration. To do this, the company’s directors or its secured creditors hand over the company to an appointed individual known as a voluntary administrator.
This voluntary administrator or insolvency practitioner is to make inquiries, and decide on how to restructure the business. The court also has the power to appoint a voluntary administrator for an insolvent company. A voluntary administrator has the duty of investigating into a company’s affairs, so as to report to creditors and recommend to them whether the company should enter into a Deed of Company Arrangement, be liquidated, or returned to the directors.
