 It comes after Made.com stopped taking new customer orders two weeks ago. The retailer sold trendy furniture and home furnishings online - but does have a physical store in London's Soho district. Made.com went up for sale last month, but no buyer was found. Made.com Design, the operating arm, today filed a notice to appoint PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) as its administrators. The company said: "Made has now been notified that the board of Made.com Design (MDL) has resolved to file notice of its intention to appoint administrators, with a view to appointing Zelf Hussain, Peter David Dickens and Rachael Maria Wilkinson of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as administrators of MDL." Made.com was launched in 2011 and employed around 700 members of staff at the end of 2021. When a business enters administration, it doesn't necessarily mean it will close down. The control of the company is passed to the appointed administrator who will look at how to sort its debt and other financial difficulties. Companies can be bought out of administration too. If a company in administration can't be saved, then it is normally liquidated and its assets sold off to pay its debts. Made.com - your rights Experts say consumers have an uncerta){kind=link}
