FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions About Company Liquidators in Gosport
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 creditor claims, and distributes proceeds. They also investigate director conduct and ensure statutory obligations are met, providing a legal closure for the company.
Costs vary based on company size, asset complexity, and creditor numbers. Typically, fees are paid from company assets, but if assets are insufficient, creditors or directors may need to fund the process. Always obtain a fixed-fee quote before proceeding.
Yes, most company liquidations are creditors' voluntary liquidations, which do not require court involvement. A shareholder resolution is passed, and creditors are invited to a meeting. Court liquidation is only necessary for compulsory winding up.
Typically, the process lasts between six and twelve months, depending on asset realisation and claim resolution. Simpler cases may conclude sooner, while complex investigations or legal disputes can extend the timeline.
Alternatives include a Company Voluntary Arrangement to repay debts over time, administration to restructure or sell the business, or informal arrangements with creditors. A licensed practitioner can advise which option suits your circumstances best.
Generally, no, if you have acted properly and not given personal guarantees. However, if wrongful trading, fraudulent activity, or undisclosed loans are found, you may face personal liability or disqualification.
Employees are made redundant immediately, and they may claim statutory redundancy pay, unpaid wages, and holiday pay from the National Insurance Fund. The liquidator provides necessary documentation and guidance to employees.
Yes, but you must act with care. Continuing to trade when you know the company is insolvent can lead to wrongful trading claims. Seek professional advice immediately to avoid personal liability.
Ensure the practitioner is licensed by a recognised professional body, such as the Insolvency Practitioners Association. Check reviews, ask for fixed fees, and confirm they have experience with your type of business.
Yes, once liquidation begins, the liquidator takes control of the company's bank accounts and assets. You will need to open a new account if you plan to start a new business, but you must disclose your directorship history.
