A business voluntary
arrangement is a loose term to refer to the various types of 'clean'
insolvency instruments which have become available in recent years and
which have come to replace the old draconian measures which used to
mean ruin for businesses and individuals alike. It is now assumed that
some businesses will fail and that new businesses will rise from the
ashes. It is in everyone's interests that this should be allowed to
happen as quickly an as efficiently as possible, and with the least
damage to the finances and reputation of the business owner.
Business voluntary
arrangements can be looked at from the point of view of three actual
insolvency instruments. An Individual Voluntary Arrangement (IVA) is
a measure brought in by the Insolvency Act 1986 to look after individuals
who become insolvent and it is generally seen as an 'easier' option
than bankruptcy. If you are a sole trader then this would apply to your
own circumstances.
The two other types
of business voluntary arrangement, in the formal sense, are the Company
Voluntary Arrangement (CVA) and the Partnership Voluntary Arrangement
(PVA) and these refer to limited companies and partnerships in each
case.
If you are considering
some kind of insolvency restructuring there are many options available
to you, including some which you may not have heard of, which will be
more suitable for your own business than other options.
