Company Voluntary Arrangements were introduced into the law in 1986. A Company Voluntary Arrangement allows a limited company to settle its debts with creditors over a fixed period of time, normally 3-5 years. Once the arrangement is completed, the creditors agree to write off any outstanding debt leaving the company to continue to trade debt free. On the face of it, a Company Voluntary Arrangement is beneficial for both the company and its creditors. It allows a company which might otherwise have failed and been put into liquidation to continue to trade. In theory, this provides the business the best chance to repay as large a portion of its historic debt as possible. In addition, the business continues to provide future custom for its suppliers and remains a supplier to its customers. Despite these potential benefits, many insolvency professionals have long regarded Company Voluntary Arrangements with scepticism because they believe there is a likelihood of early failure. There are no formal statistics which prove or disprove whether this view of Company Voluntary Arrangements is correct. However, in my view, on their own, they are not a magic wand for turning round a failing...more
