FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions About Company Liquidators in Colne
Still unsure? A short, confidential conversation is usually the fastest way to get clarity.
Ask a SpecialistThe cost of a creditors' voluntary liquidation (CVL) can vary depending on the size and complexity of the company. Generally, fees range from £4,000 to £8,000 plus VAT, but some firms may offer a fixed fee. You should obtain a clear written quote before proceeding.
Your company is eligible for a creditors' voluntary liquidation if it is insolvent, meaning it cannot pay its debts as they fall due. This includes situations where liabilities exceed assets. A licensed insolvency practitioner can confirm eligibility and guide you through the formal process.
The process begins with a board meeting to pass a resolution to wind up the company. Then, you must call a meeting of shareholders and a meeting of creditors. Creditors vote to confirm the appointment of the liquidator, who then takes control of the company's affairs.
A straightforward creditors' voluntary liquidation typically takes between six and twelve months to complete. However, more complex cases with substantial assets or legal disputes can take longer. The liquidator will provide a timeline after their appointment.
Once the decision to liquidate has been made, directors must not continue trading unless it is to preserve the value of the company's assets. Trading beyond this point could lead to personal liability for wrongful trading. The liquidator will advise on any necessary actions.
Alternatives include a company voluntary arrangement (CVA), administration, or a formal restructuring. A CVA allows the company to repay debts over a period while continuing to trade. Administration provides protection from creditors while a rescue plan is attempted. A licensed professional can assess which option is best.
Directors must cooperate fully with the liquidator, provide all necessary books and records, and disclose any transactions that occurred before the liquidation. They must also avoid taking any action that could prejudice creditors. Failure to comply can result in personal liability or disqualification.
Generally, directors are not personally liable for company debts if they have acted properly and within the law. However, if you have given personal guarantees, you may be liable for those specific debts. Also, if wrongful trading or misfeasance is found, you could face personal liability.
