You may want to consider applying for a individual voluntary arrangement (IVA) when you are facing administration or bankruptcy.
It is better and cheaper for you to set up an individual voluntary arrangement before you become bankrupt but you can propose one afterwards. If you do propose one after bankruptcy, it is possible for you to nominate your trustee to be the superv isor of the arrangement.

Your creditors cannot propose an individual voluntary arrangement. The insolvency options open to your creditors are to petition for your bankruptcy or administration.
