SURFACE TRANSFORMS PLC — Administration
SURFACE TRANSFORMS PLC is in administration — here's what happens next
SURFACE TRANSFORMS PLC has entered administration. Day-to-day control has passed from the directors to a licensed insolvency practitioner, who now runs the business with a statutory duty to rescue it as a going concern, achieve a better result for creditors than liquidation, or realise assets to pay secured and preferential creditors. Trading may continue for a short window while a buyer is sought — often via a pre-pack sale of the business and assets, sometimes as a going-concern transfer. Employees generally remain employed until the administrator decides otherwise; unsecured creditors typically receive a fraction of what they are owed. For buyers, administration is one of the fastest ways to acquire a UK business — but the window is measured in days, not weeks.
