Interim Management for Businesses in Administration
Experienced operational management for insolvency practitioners, administrators and lenders who need a business to keep operating while the wider position is resolved.
What AJS Does
Operational responsibility, not recommendations.
When an appointment is made, the operation still has to run. Staff need leadership, customers need serving, suppliers need managing and risk needs controlling — often from day one.
AJS deploys experienced operators who take responsibility on site, work alongside the office holder, and provide the regular reporting required to support decisions on trading, sale or closure.
- Onsite operational management from appointment
- Staff leadership, rotas and payroll controls
- Cash, cost and supplier controls
- Health, safety and statutory compliance
- Customer, guest and tenant operations
- Regular reporting to the appointed office holder
When You May Need AJS
- Trading through administration
- Accelerated business sale processes
- Management walkouts following an appointment
- Site closure, consolidation or handback
- Business continuity during restructuring

FAQs
Common questions
- Can a business keep trading in administration?
- It can, provided the operation can be run safely and lawfully from day one. That depends on management continuity, licences and certification, critical supply, labour and the mechanics of how cash actually reaches the estate. AJS provides the management side of that test.
- How does an interim manager work with the appointed office holder?
- The office holder holds the appointment and the strategy; the interim holds the operation. We take line management of the site team and day-to-day trading decisions within an agreed framework, and report weekly on trading, cash, labour and risk in a format that stands up to scrutiny.
- What happens when management walk out after an appointment?
- We triage the same day and place an experienced operator on site as quickly as logistics allow, typically within 24–72 hours, taking immediate control of staffing, suppliers, compliance and customer commitments.
