What Is an Insolvency Practitioner in Cambridgeshire?

An insolvency practitioner is a licensed professional authorised to act on behalf of insolvent companies or individuals in Cambridgeshire.

They handle formal processes like Creditors' Voluntary Liquidation (CVL), administration, Company Voluntary Arrangements (CVA), and receivership in Cambridgeshire.

When Do I Need to Appoint an Insolvency Practitioner in Cambridgeshire?

You need to appoint an IP when your company is insolvent and can no longer pay its debts as they fall due, or when its liabilities exceed its assets in Cambridgeshire.

Early appointment helps prevent wrongful trading and allows you to explore available solutions in Cambridgeshire.

How Do I Appoint an Insolvency Practitioner in Cambridgeshire?

The process typically begins with a free consultation. If liquidation or restructuring is required, you’ll formally engage the IP by signing a letter of engagement in Cambridgeshire.

In a CVL, shareholders pass in Cambridgeshire a resolution to appoint the IP, who is then confirmed by creditors.

What Role Does an IP Play in Company Liquidation in Cambridgeshire?

In liquidation, the IP manages the entire process in Cambridgeshire, from valuing and selling assets to distributing funds to creditors and closing the company.

They also investigate director conduct in Cambridgeshire and ensure compliance with UK insolvency law.

Can I Choose My Own Insolvency Practitioner in Cambridgeshire?

In voluntary procedures in Cambridgeshire, such as a CVL or MVL, directors and shareholders can choose their own IP.

However, in compulsory liquidation, the court appoints the Official Receiver, and creditors must approve any replacement IP in Cambridgeshire.

What Qualifications Must an Insolvency Practitioner Have in Cambridgeshire?

All IPs in the UK must be licensed by a recognised professional body in Cambridgeshire such as ICAEW or IPA.

They must also pass the Joint Insolvency Examination Board (JIEB) exams and maintain ongoing professional standards in Cambridgeshire.

What’s the Difference Between an IP and a Solicitor or Accountant in Cambridgeshire?

An insolvency practitioner is the only professional legally authorised to conduct formal insolvency procedures in Cambridgeshire.

While solicitors and accountants may provide financial or legal advice, they cannot administer liquidations or CVAs unless licensed in Cambridgeshire.

You’ll need basic company documents in Cambridgeshire, including:

  • Recent accounts and balance sheet in Cambridgeshire

  • Employee contracts in Cambridgeshire

  • Lease and asset information in Cambridgeshire

We can help gather these during the initial consultation phase in Cambridgeshire.

Can an IP Help Save My Business in Cambridgeshire?

An IP can assess if your business is viable and help implement a rescue plan such as a CVA or administration instead of closure in Cambridgeshire.

Early intervention offers the best chance of survival in Cambridgeshire.

Can I Appoint an IP for a Solvent Business in Cambridgeshire?

Yes. If you want to close a solvent company, you can appoint an IP to carry out a Members’ Voluntary Liquidation (MVL) and extract retained profits tax efficiently in Cambridgeshire.

Will the IP Report on My Conduct as a Director in Cambridgeshire?

As part of any liquidation in Cambridgeshire, the IP must submit a director conduct report to the Insolvency Service.

This is routine in Cambridgeshire but may lead to disqualification if misconduct or wrongful trading is found.

What If I Delay Appointing an Insolvency Practitioner in Cambridgeshire?
