Employment Prospects

An IVA – or Individual Voluntary Arrangement – can prove to be an extremely useful way of bringing debt problems under control and heading off what would otherwise seem to be the only other alternative, namely bankruptcy. Despite the growing numbers of people forced down such a route, bankruptcy retains not only a painful stigma but several severe penalties, many of which can affect the bankrupt’s present and future employment prospects. An IVA, therefore, can be a very powerful device for avoiding such a fate.
