Venturn Pre Packs.

If your business needs a pre-pack, we can put one in place.

Pre-packs are an alternative form of Administration or Liquidation of a company where a sale to a new legal structure takes place immediately upon the Administration of the old company. It is usually preferable to avoid any form of insolvency, but when it becomes inevitable, a pre-packaged administration or "pre-pack" can be used to hold the company, it’s contracts and it’s employees together, thus giving a measure of operational stability when the legal structure is about to collapse.

Pre-packs have a number of advantages over a company entering and then trading in administration.

• Pre-packs keep the operational side of the business together – customer services are not disrupted
• Pre-packs save jobs and employees are not made redundant – their rights are usually protected under TUPE regulations
• Pre-packs allow the firm to keep trading with little to no business interruption
• Pre-packs provide a better return to creditors - Funds returned to secured creditors are higher at 42% compared with 28% for administration business sales (source R3 press briefing January 2009)

The damage that results from administration or liquidation is often avoided through a pre-pack.
The ideal type of firm for a pre-pack is a service provider where the assets are its staff and intellectual property or know-how. Retailers, software developers and digital marketing agencies are typical examples of such firms that are ideal candidates for a pre-pack if the company is in difficulty.

"Through a pre-pack administration, we can preserve the business itself, while allowing the legal entity only to fail."

Through a pre-pack administration it can become debt-free, continue to trade, and then go on to future growth and success. Pre-packs can therefore help prevent an economic downturn from worsening, as skilled people are kept in work and companies can keep going.
