Who needs advice on pre-pack insolvency ?

When a company faces serious financial difficulties due to large debts or the risk of insolvency, it’s a clear sign that changes are needed. If operations fall behind schedule, funds run out, and creditors start applying pressure, it’s better to act quickly than wait for the business to collapse. Early assistance from a qualified lawyer reduces the director’s personal liability risks, ensures proper legal structuring, and prepares the company for a potential sale of its assets.

How pre-pack administration works — when an adviser helps the director navigate the law ?

 

A lawyer reviews the company’s financial situation — debts, assets, active contracts — and determines whether insolvency has already occurred. Then a step-by-step plan is developed: a temporary administrator may be required, but alternative solutions should also be considered, such as negotiations with creditors or restructuring the debt. During the consultation, the lawyer explains responsibilities, identifies risks for directors, and outlines the next actions clearly and without unnecessary complexity.

If the decision is made to proceed with pre-pack administration, the lawyer assists in gathering the required documentation, reviewing assets, examining contracts, securities, intellectual property, leases, and payroll obligations. The key is accurate preparation and verification since this minimises the likelihood of creditors challenging the transactions.

At the pre-administration stage, the specialist drafts the business and asset sale agreement, ensures all required disclosures are made, supervises contract execution, and assists in transferring equipment, staff, and contracts. Once the transaction is completed, the lawyer provides guidance on further business steps and handles inquiries from creditors or regulatory bodies.

Why seeking specialist help before starting the insolvency procedure matters ?

  • Less risk for the director — legal support makes the situation significantly safer.
  • Reduced stress - a specialist handles the process efficiently, prepares the required documents, and stays in constant communication with the administrator.
  • Preservation of business value — proper preparation before a sale increases the chance of achieving a fair price for assets, protecting employees' interests, and avoiding losses.
  • Clear documentation and agreements help prevent disputes — transparency protects creditor rights and reduces complaints.

When you should seek advice ?

A lawyer is needed when the debts are significant — that’s a fact. If loan repayments are becoming difficult, don’t delay. Facing insolvency? Plan ahead. When time is limited and many creditors demand payment, handling everything alone becomes unrealistic. Salary delays or supplier claims signal a critical situation. Problematic leases or risky loan terms can jeopardise the closure of the business. Timely analysis reduces pressure, helps avoid personal liability, and preserves company value even as insolvency begins. Early planning gives you control over the outcome.
