FAQs
Still unsure? A short, confidential conversation is usually the fastest way to get clarity.
Ask a SpecialistA licensed insolvency practitioner acts as liquidator, realising company assets, agreeing creditor claims, and distributing any funds. They also investigate director conduct and ensure statutory obligations are met, providing a formal closure for the company.
Costs vary based on company size and complexity. Creditors' voluntary liquidation is often funded from company assets, but if assets are insufficient, directors may need to contribute. Always obtain a fixed-fee quote from a licensed practitioner before proceeding.
Compulsory liquidation is ordered by a court, usually following a creditor's petition. Voluntary liquidation is initiated by directors or shareholders. Creditors' voluntary liquidation is common when a company is insolvent, allowing directors to control the process.
A straightforward creditors' voluntary liquidation can complete in six to twelve months, though complex cases may take longer. The liquidator must finalise asset sales, settle claims, and submit final accounts to Companies House.
Yes, but if there are no assets to cover fees, creditors may not agree to a voluntary liquidation. In such cases, a director may apply for a striking-off, though this does not discharge debts or provide the same legal protections as liquidation.
Employees are made redundant when liquidation begins. They can claim statutory redundancy pay, unpaid wages, and holiday pay from the National Insurance Fund. The liquidator provides necessary documentation for these claims.
Yes, options include a company voluntary arrangement (CVA), administration, or informal restructuring. A licensed insolvency practitioner can assess whether your company can be rescued or whether liquidation is the only realistic option.
Directors must act in the interests of creditors, avoid wrongful trading, and provide accurate information to the liquidator. Failing these duties can lead to personal liability, disqualification, or even criminal prosecution.
Generally no, but personal liability can arise if you have given personal guarantees, taken unlawful dividends, or engaged in wrongful trading. A liquidator may pursue recovery of funds in such cases.
Look for a practitioner who is authorised by a recognised professional body, such as the Insolvency Practitioners Association. Check their experience with similar cases and ask for a clear fee structure before you commit.
