Administration
This takes place after a company, its directors or one of more of its creditors have asked the courts to step in. The court will appoint administrators whose powers are very broad and replace the existing directors. Administration also protects a company from an legal action. The administrator's primary objective is to keep the company operating as a going concern to achieve the best possible returns for creditors before going into liquidation.

Receivership
While administrators are appointed the court, an administrative receiver is called in by a bank or other creditor who has a charge over all or most of the assets of a company. The receiver's goal is to act in the interests of the holder of the charge. Legal actions can still be brought and liquidators can still be appointed.
