Receivership
“A company going into receivership would mean that its affairs are being managed by a ‘receiver’ or a ‘receiver and manager’. The company is not in liquidation except that the directors will have to surrender their rights to run the company’s business to the ‘receiver’ or ‘receiver and manager’ as a going concern”.

INTRODUCTION TO RECEIVERSHIP
When a financial institution / debenture holders provides a financial loan or facility (or other creditors provide credits) to a company, the financial institution would want to have some form of security to recover the debt.

Financial distress and your safety net during COVID-19Redchip
Temporary changes to insolvency laws mean businesses have a safety net so they can resume normal operations once the crisis has passed. This includes an increase to the statutory demand limit (to $20,000), and extended protections for directors against personal liability for trading whilst insolvent.
This safety net, however, is due to expire on 24 September 2020 and businesses can then expect sudden and aggressive debt recovery measures from creditors including the ATO.
Please join our webinar with insolvency experts Robert Champney and
Rebecca Forsyth who will discuss with you:
Changes to occur from 25 September - statutory demands, bankruptcy notices, and obligations as a director;
Debt recovery options available to your clients to improve cash flow; and
“Red flags” that determine financial distress, what options are available to restructure, and the need for proactive conversations with your client and legal advisors
The document discusses the winding up process of a company in India. There are two types of winding up - compulsory and voluntary. Compulsory winding up is ordered by the National Company Law Tribunal for reasons such as inability to pay debts or it being just and equitable. Voluntary winding up can be members' voluntary winding up if the company is solvent, or creditors' voluntary winding up if it proposes to wind up. The winding up process is conducted by an administrator called a liquidator, who realizes the company's assets and pays off debts. Winding up brings an end to the company's legal personality while dissolution removes it from the register of companies.
