FAQs
Still unsure? A short, confidential conversation is usually the fastest way to get clarity.
Ask a SpecialistA licensed insolvency practitioner takes control of the company, realises assets, agrees claims with creditors, and distributes any funds fairly. They also investigate director conduct and ensure the company is dissolved legally, providing a clean end to the business.
Costs vary based on the complexity of the company's affairs. For a simple creditors' voluntary liquidation, fees typically range from £4,000 to £8,000 plus VAT, but this can increase with asset realisations or investigations. Always obtain a fixed-fee quote before appointing a practitioner.
Yes, it is possible. If the company has no assets to pay liquidation fees, directors may need to fund the process personally, or a creditor may petition for compulsory liquidation. A practitioner can discuss options like a pre-pack or director-funded CVL.
A Creditors' Voluntary Liquidation (CVL) is used when the company is insolvent, while a Members' Voluntary Liquidation (MVL) is for solvent companies. In an MVL, directors make a statutory declaration of solvency, and the process is quicker and less formal than a CVL.
A CVL typically takes six to twelve months to complete, depending on asset sales and creditor claims. An MVL can be concluded in three to six months if all matters are straightforward. Complex cases with investigations or litigation may take longer.
No, only a licensed insolvency practitioner can act as a liquidator. Attempting to strike off an insolvent company without following formal procedures is an offence. You must appoint a regulated professional to ensure the process is lawful and protects your position.
Employees are made redundant immediately upon liquidation, unless the liquidator retains them temporarily. They can claim redundancy pay, notice pay, and unpaid wages from the National Insurance Fund, though caps apply. The liquidator provides necessary documentation for these claims.
Yes, alternatives include company voluntary arrangements (CVAs), administration, or informal restructuring. For solvent companies, striking off is an option, but it does not dissolve the company if it has traded recently. A practitioner can advise on the best route based on your goals.
Generally, no, as limited liability protects directors. However, personal liability can arise if you have given personal guarantees, traded wrongfully, or acted fraudulently. A liquidator investigates conduct and may pursue claims against directors if misconduct is found.
Ensure the practitioner is licensed by a recognised professional body, such as the ICAEW or IPA. Check their experience with similar companies and ask for a clear fee structure. AccountingFirms.co.uk lists verified professionals who meet these standards, making selection easier.
