How a Validation Order Can Help

Receiving a winding up petition is already a very stressful situation. When a company’s bank account becomes frozen as a result, the pressure can increase significantly.

Suddenly, you may find it difficult to access company funds, pay employees, settle supplier invoices, or continue normal trading. For many directors, this can create a great deal of uncertainty about how the business can continue operating.

A validation order is sometimes used to allow certain payments to continue while a winding up petition is in place. In some situations, it may allow a company to access its bank account so essential business payments can still be made.

Understanding whether this option may be appropriate depends on the specific circumstances of the company.

Our role is to help you understand what a validation order involves and how the process may work if it becomes necessary.

When a Business Account Is Frozen

When a winding up petition is presented, banks will often freeze a company’s account to protect creditor interests.

This can make it extremely difficult for a business to continue operating. Directors may suddenly find themselves unable to:

• Pay staff wages

• Settle supplier invoices

• Continue normal trading activities

• Access company funds needed for day-to-day operations

Situations like this can place considerable strain on directors who are already dealing with financial pressure.

In some circumstances, a validation order may allow certain transactions to take place while the petition is ongoing, helping a business continue operating while the situation is being addressed.
