Receivership
Oversee assets and operations to repay debts.
Receivership is a targeted process that allows secured creditors to recover outstanding debts by appointing a receiver to take control of specific company assets. The receiver’s goal is to manage and sell these assets to repay debts, often while keeping the business operational, maximising value, and preserving jobs.
Companies typically enter receivership when they default on secured debts, such as a loan. This step gives secured creditors the authority to recover their funds while providing directors and stakeholders with a structured path to address financial challenges. Receivership may be a preferable alternative to other insolvency procedures, as it can keep key parts of the business running, retain employee positions, and ultimately benefit both creditors and stakeholders.

At TTJ Advisory, we understand the pressures directors face, particularly when grappling with tax debts and insolvency.
