Rescue Company Procedures
- This is a constructive process of trying to save a company.
It is designed to hold a business together while plans are drawn
up to rescue the business, sort out the problems and allow the
company to restructure.
- Application for this procedure is made through the high court
and on the application being made it gives immediate protection
from all its creditors including hire purchase and lease creditors.
In other words, all the companies assets are protected to enable
a plan of action to be put in place.
- This procedure allows a limited company to negotiate an arrangement
with its creditors by which the creditors agree to a reduced amount
paid back over a period of 1-5 years in full and final settlement.

notice and were entitled to vote at the original meeting.
