A creditors' voluntary liquidation usually takes between six and twelve months to complete, depending on asset realisation and any legal issues. A compulsory liquidation may take longer. Your practitioner will provide a timeline based on your specific circumstances.

A creditors' voluntary liquidation (CVL) is for insolvent companies, while a members' voluntary liquidation (MVL) is for solvent ones. In an MVL, directors make a declaration of solvency, and the process is quicker and less costly.
