Receiverships

Two Business People

Portland has experience of all types of receivership appointments and has the resources to allow it to place a team anywhere in the country at short notice, reflecting the often-urgent nature of this procedure.

  • Administrative receivership appointments by the holders of floating charges, typically banks
  • Fixed charge receiverships, typically of property on behalf of lenders
  • Court-appointed receiver and manager appointments

Receiverships have received a bad press in recent years, particularly from government when drafting the Enterprise Act. They are perceived as giving the secured creditors too much power and being exclusive of the general body of creditors.

Whilst some examples can be found where the use of receivership has been unfortunate, in many cases receivership proceeds by consent between the directors and creditor. The procedure has real benefits of speed of appointment and access to the appointer for funding. This makes it a useful tool to save all or part of a business as a going concern, particularly for those types of industries where confidence is key and speed is of the essence.

Portland partners have used receivership to good effect as follows.
