What Types of Finance Can You Arrange When In A Company Voluntary Arrangements (CVA)?
What type of finance available to you in a CVA, will often be dictated by your available assets. In most cases when arranging finance in a CVA, you are going to need to provide some kind of security to the lender. This is because in general companies in a CVA are at a higher risk of collapse than a normal business.
However security for a lender can come in many different forms, some maybe less obvious than others. It could also be sufficient to refinance existing assets, releasing additional equity if available.
Lenders may request security such as:
- Debtors & Unpaid Customer Invoices
- Equipment & Machinery
- Cars, Vans & Other Vehicles
- Stock & Inventory
- Commercial Property
- Land
- BTL Property
- Director Personal Guarantees (PG)
- Charge Against Main Residence
