FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions About Company Liquidators in Crewe
Still unsure? A short, confidential conversation is usually the fastest way to get clarity.
Ask a SpecialistA company liquidator is a licensed insolvency professional who manages the closure of a company. They sell any assets, settle creditor claims, and distribute remaining funds to shareholders. They also handle legal filings and ensure the company is formally dissolved.
Costs vary based on the size and complexity of the company. Typically, a simple creditors' voluntary liquidation might cost between £4,000 and £8,000, plus VAT. You should always ask for a fixed fee quote before proceeding to avoid unexpected charges.
Any limited company that is insolvent or cannot pay its debts as they fall due is eligible. Directors can initiate a creditors' voluntary liquidation, while a court may order a compulsory liquidation if a creditor petitions. Members' voluntary liquidation is for solvent companies.
The process starts with a board meeting and a shareholder resolution to wind up the company. Then, a meeting of creditors is held where they approve the liquidator's appointment. The liquidator takes control, realises assets, and distributes proceeds.
A simple liquidation can be completed in six to nine months, but complex cases with many assets or legal issues may take over a year. The timeline depends on how quickly assets are sold and any disputes are resolved.
Yes, you can. If the company has no assets to pay for liquidation, you may need to fund the process personally. However, there are options such as a director's loan or a payment plan with the liquidator.
A Creditors' Voluntary Liquidation (CVL) is for insolvent companies, while a Members' Voluntary Liquidation (MVL) is for solvent companies that wish to close. MVL is often used for tax efficiency when shareholders want to extract retained profits.
Yes, alternatives include a Company Voluntary Arrangement (CVA), administration, or a formal restructuring. You might also consider a simple strike-off if the company is solvent and has no debts. Always seek professional advice to choose the best route.
Employees are made redundant once liquidation begins. They may claim statutory redundancy pay and other entitlements from the National Insurance Fund. The liquidator will provide them with the necessary forms and information.
In most cases, directors are not personally liable for company debts. However, if you have given personal guarantees or acted wrongfully, such as trading while insolvent, you could be held liable. Professional advice is essential to avoid this risk.
