Toys R Us UK faces crashing into administration at the end of the month unless it can find new investors prepared to shoulder a £15m tax bill.

Sky News has learnt that advisers to Britain's biggest standalone toy retailer are racing to secure a rescue deal for the business by the middle of next week, just days ahead of a 27 February deadline to meet a mammoth VAT demand.

Sources said the company, which employs more than 3,000 people in the UK, would work through this weekend in an effort to progress talks with potential bidders.

The Entertainer, a privately owned chain, and Alteri Investors, an acquirer of distressed retailers, are understood to have held talks in the last fortnight about buying parts of Toys R Us UK, although their ongoing interest was unclear on Friday.

They're going down like nine pins.
