Appoint or Register an Administrator, Receiver, Receiver Manager or Supervisor with CAC

Notice of the appointment of an administrator, receiver, receiver manager, or supervisor must be officially filed with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC).  This process is often initiated when a company is facing financial distress or is unable to pay its debts.

An administrator is appointed to manage a financially distressed company with the primary goal of rescuing the business and ensuring its survival. A receiver or receiver manager, on the other hand, is typically appointed by a secured creditor to take possession of and realize a company's assets to recover a debt. A supervisor is appointed in the context of a company voluntary arrangement (CVA).

Features of Company Registration

Why Appoint or Notify CAC of a Receiver, Administrator, or Supervisor?

The Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) is notified of the appointment of a receiver, administrator, or supervisor to ensure transparency and compliance with insolvency regulations.

This notification allows the CAC to maintain accurate records of company status and facilitate oversight of the appointed individual's activities. It also ensures that creditors, stakeholders, and the public are aware of the company's financial situation and any changes in management.  

  • Legal Compliance: The appointment of an administrator or receiver must be officially recorded with the CAC within seven days of the appointment to comply with statutory regulations.

  • Public Record: Filing updates the company's official records, providing public notice to creditors, stakeholders, and other interested parties.

  • Clarity of Authority: This registration provides the appointed professional with the legal authority to act on behalf of the company and its assets.

  • Legal Authority: Appointments are made either by court order or by agreement under a security instrument (e.g., debenture agreement).

  • Scope of Authority: 'Receiver' manages only specific secured assets, 'Receiver Manager' manages assets and oversees company operations. 'Administrator' restructures or manages the company’s entire business under legal protection and 
    'Supervisor' oversees a company voluntary arrangement or liquidation process.

  • Purpose of Appointment: A Receiver or Administrator is appointed to recover debts, manage assets, or restructure the company when financial obligations are not met.

  • Ensures Debt Recovery for Creditors: Enables secured creditors to recover outstanding debts by managing or selling the company’s assets.
