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's affairs, realises assets, and distributes the proceeds to creditors. They also investigate the conduct of directors and ensure that the company is dissolved properly and legally.
The cost varies depending on the size and complexity of the company. Fees are often taken from the realisation of assets, but you should always request a clear breakdown of charges before you agree to any appointment.
Yes, it is possible to place an insolvent company into liquidation even if there are no assets. In this situation, creditors may be unable to receive a dividend, but the process still provides a formal closure for the company.
A creditors' voluntary liquidation is initiated by the directors and shareholders, whereas a compulsory liquidation is forced by a creditor through a court order. Most appointments for insolvent companies are voluntary, but you should seek advice on your specific case.
The process typically takes between six and twelve months to complete, depending on the complexity of the case. However, the liquidator's work may continue for longer if there are assets to sell or investigations to conclude.
If you have given personal guarantees for business loans, those creditors can pursue you personally. Otherwise, the limited liability status usually protects your personal assets, provided you have not acted fraudulently or wrongfully.
Yes, there are alternatives such as a company voluntary arrangement, administration, or formal restructuring. A licensed professional can help you analyse whether any of these options might save the business or achieve a better return for creditors.
You must cooperate fully with the liquidator, provide all relevant books and records, and disclose any information about the company's affairs. Failure to cooperate can result in personal liability or disqualification proceedings.
Yes, you can start a new business, but you may face restrictions if you are disqualified from being a director. You should also consider how the liquidation will affect your credit rating and your ability to obtain finance in the future.
A company is insolvent if it cannot pay its debts as they fall due, or if its liabilities exceed its assets. You should seek professional advice if you are unsure, as trading whilst insolvent can lead to personal liability.
