Some 43 stores, two of which are not trading, will close on or before 24 April 2012. The CVA will also allow JJB to review the performance of a further 46 stores and enable closure of them on or before 24 April 2013, if the performance cannot be improved.

What is a Company Voluntary Arrangement?

A CVA is based on preserving the company, rebuilding sales and profits and paying something back over a period of time to be agreed. Directors remain in control, personal guarantees don’t get called in (usually) and it gives your business a fighting chance to survive.
