Company Administration in Case of Insolvency

Company administration in case of insolvency is a manner in which it is attempted to rescue the business and return the company to a state in which it can continue its activities. Our Danish lawyers answer some of the most important questions about this process.

 

 

Administration is a process that aims to help a company avoid liquidation. Whenever possible, it is preferred to enter into a company administration process for the purpose of rescuing the company as opposed to entering into liquidation and offering the assets to satisfy the claims of the creditors. 

 

One of our attorneys in Denmark can help analyze your situation and determine if this is a suitable method for a company.

 

 

Companies can enter into administration when it is insolvent or it is likely to become insolvent within a short period of time; the process cannot be commenced if this is no the case. The application for administration can be made via a court order by one or more creditors. Alternatively, the company director or a liquidator can apply for commencing the administration.

 

 

When the process is underway, Danish companies required to offer their property and assets to the administrator who will thereafter have broad control over the company’s assets. He can handle the assets as needed and perform all of the needed actions, according to the interest of the creditors. 

 

In many cases during administration part of the company’s assets will be sold. However, entering into administration does not mean that the Danish employees will be laid off. One of our lawyers in Denmark can give you more details about the payment and treatment of employees during administration.
