What is a company administration service?
A company administration service helps business owners manage the complex legal, financial, and procedural steps involved when a business is in financial difficulties.
In such instances, a licensed insolvency practitioner is appointed to take control of the distressed company, and they have various statutory duties in that regard.
This is an alternative to liquidation, in the hope of saving the company rather than winding it up.
How does a company administration service work?
Putting your company into administration involves several important steps that must be carefully managed to comply with legal requirements and protect your interests.
Let’s take a closer look at the key stages involved in the process:
Stage 1 – Initial Consultation
- Discuss your company’s financial situation and goals.
- Explore the different options available for your business and select the best one.
- Agree on the next steps that are tailored to your needs.

Company administration service FAQs
What are the main advantages of using a company administration service? ▸

How long does the company administration process take? ▸

How much does a company administration service cost? ▸
The cost of a company administration service can vary depending on the complexity of your company’s situation and the specific services required to take your business into administration.
As administration is a bespoke process, fees are usually based on the time the practitioner spends on your case and the level of assets involved. There are also associated costs for various disbursements, such as court fees, bonding, and advertising.
An indicative cost is provided once the circumstances are fully understood.
What is the difference between administration and insolvency? ▸
Administration is a formal legal process used to manage an insolvent company, with the primary aim of rescuing it. This is contrasted with insolvency, which is the blanket terminology for a business that can no longer pay its debts, or has more liabilities than assets.
Administration acts as a protective barrier (as it triggers a moratorium) against creditor legal action, enabling restructuring or the sale of assets to pay off debts.
In short, insolvency refers to a company’s financial status, whereas administration is the procedure used to manage it.
Can I take my business through administration without using a company administration service? ▸
No, you will always need a licensed Insolvency Practitioner to enter into Administration. Our licensed practitioners will guide you through the process.
