What is Receivership

Receivership is a legal process where a receiver is appointed to manage and sell a company’s assets to repay secured creditors. This is typically initiated when a company defaults on a secured loan or fails to meet its financial obligations to a secured creditor.

Receivership benefits

  • Creditor Recovery: Primarily benefits secured creditors by ensuring that their debts are repaid from the proceeds of asset sales.
  • Asset Management: The Receiver takes control of and manages the company’s assets, realising assets for the benefit of Secured creditor debt.
  • Focused Resolution: Provides a structured approach to dealing with a company’s financial difficulties, focusing on asset realisation.

Receivership process

  1. Appointment: A Receiver is appointed by a secured creditor, typically due to the company’s failure to meet its debt obligations.
  2. Control and Management: The Receiver takes control of the company’s assets and operations, often continuing to run the business whilst undertaking a sale process.
  3. Asset Realisation: The Receiver sells the company’s assets and uses the proceeds to repay the secured creditor debt.
  4. Debt Settlement: After secured debts are repaid, any remaining funds may be used to address unsecured creditors, though this is less common.
  5. Conclusion: Once all assets are sold and debts are settled, the Receiver’s role concludes, and the company may proceed to liquidation if necessary.
