This may be to rescue a viable business that is insolvent due to cashflow problems.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  &#8220;An appointment of an administrator (a licensed insolvency practitioner) will be made by directors, a creditor or the court to fulfil the administration process.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  A statutory moratorium is put in place once a company enters administration, giving it &#8220;breathing space&#8221; to allow for financial restructuring plans to be drawn up free from creditor enforcement actions.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  A company can continue to trade while in administration, but daily management and control are handed over to the administrators.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Companies House continues: &#8220;Within 8 weeks it is the administrators\u2019 role to formulate administration proposals.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  &#8220;Creditors are then asked to vote by a decision procedure to approve the administrators\u2019 proposals.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  &#8220;If the administration involves a sale of all or part of the company\u2019s business, the proceeds (after the costs of the procedure) will be distributed to creditors in a statutory order of priority.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Administration will end automatically after 12 months unless the administrator asks the court or creditors for an extension.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Through administration, a company can be:\n<\/p>\n<p>  Rescued and passed back to the directors<\/p>\n<p>  Enter liquidation<\/p>\n<p>  Be dissolved<\/p>\n<p>  Other UK companies that have closed or entered administration\/liquidation in 2026<\/p>\n<p>\n  It has been a tough year for the UK high street, with several retailers entering administration or liquidation and others announcing widespread store closures.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Major high street brands LK Bennett, Claire&#8217;s, Quiz and Leading Labels have been forced to close all their remaining stores after falling into administration.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  TG Jones and the British Heart Foundation will also be closing around 150 stores each across the UK.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Wynsors World of Shoes is shutting 17 stores across the UK, with closing down sales already underway at several affected branches.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Popular UK-based online platform Laced, used for buying and selling rare trainers, is also set to close down after 11 years, having fallen into administration.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Other retailers that have been forced to close stores this year include the likes of River Island, Primark, Brewdog, and more.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  In the food sector, Whitbread notably closed all its branded restaurants across the UK last month, including all of its Brewers Fayre and Beefeater sites.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Several UK travel companies have ceased trading or entered administration in 2026, including:\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Wayfairer Travel Limited has also suspended all services &#8220;until further notice&#8221; as it looks to appoint an administrator.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Meanwhile, four UK airlines have fallen into administration or liquidation:\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  UK delivery company Yodel is being phased out after being acquired by InPost.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Meanwhile, iconic fashion brand Nasty Gal has shut down its website after being sold by Debenhams in a deal worth around \u00a312 million (US$16 million).\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Recommended reading:\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  It hasn&#8217;t all been bad news for the UK high street, with several major brands announcing new store openings for 2026, including Joules, Aldi, M&amp;S, and Superdrug.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Meanwhile, brands including Evans, Karen Millen and Bodycare have returned to the UK high street this year after previously closing all their stores.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Have you used CVH Transport Services before?
