A legally binding agreement to repay creditors over time while your company keeps trading and you stay in control. Serving Northwich and the surrounding Cheshire area.
Running a business in Northwich brings its own pressures, and when debts mount the right advice makes all the difference. Northwich is a Cheshire town with chemical, manufacturing and retail employers, and we help directors across the town, and the wider Cheshire area, deal with debts that are unmanageable today even though the business is still viable calmly and confidentially.
Helping Northwich directors
Our advisers work with Northwich company directors regularly. Whether you trade from the town centre or one of the surrounding business parks, you’ll speak directly to someone who understands CVA and can explain your options in plain English, usually in a single phone call.
We’re just 19 miles away in Manchester, so we can meet in person whenever it helps, though most Northwich directors find a confidential call and email is all they need to get moving quickly.
About Company Voluntary Arrangement
A Company Voluntary Arrangement (CVA) is a formal, legally binding agreement between a company and its creditors to repay some or all of its debts over an agreed period, typically three to five years, while the business continues to trade.
That is the essence wherever you trade. For the full detail, including how it works, the costs, timescales and your duties as a director, read our complete guide to Company Voluntary Arrangement.
Northwich company voluntary arrangement questions
Do you help directors in Northwich?
Yes. We advise company directors across Northwich and the wider Cheshire area on CVA and every other insolvency option. Most matters are handled by phone and email, with face-to-face meetings available when you need them.
Does the company keep trading during a CVA?
Yes, that’s the whole point. The company continues to trade under the directors’ control while making the agreed monthly contributions to creditors.
What happens if creditors reject the proposal?
If the proposal isn’t approved, the company is no worse off and other options, such as administration or a CVL, remain available. A well-prepared, realistic proposal greatly improves the chances of approval.
Will a CVA affect my suppliers?
A CVA is on public record and some suppliers may ask for revised terms. Many continue to trade with you, particularly where the alternative would be a worse outcome for them.
Can HMRC be included in a CVA?
Yes. HMRC is often a major creditor and can be bound by a CVA. Their view carries weight in the vote, so proposals need to be realistic and properly evidenced.
