YOUR SITUATION

Is your company struggling with debt that you cannot resolve alone?

When cash flow tightens and creditors press for payment, liquidation may seem the only route. Yet sometimes a formal insolvency procedure is not the immediate answer. A licensed practitioner can assess whether restructuring, a company voluntary arrangement, or another solution might preserve your business.

Discuss Your Situation
  • The company can no longer pay its debts
  • Cash flow problems are becoming unmanageable
  • Creditor pressure is increasing
  • The business has stopped trading
  • Directors want to close a solvent company
  • The company has outstanding financial obligations
  • The business is no longer commercially viable

THE LIQUIDATION PROCESS

How Does Company Liquidation Work?

Liquidating a company in London follows a defined statutory sequence. Knowing the order of events makes the company liquidation process far easier to manage.

  1. Initial Consultation

    A confidential conversation about your company, its trading position and the pressures you are facing.

  2. Financial Assessment

    We review assets, liabilities, creditor balances and cash flow to establish whether the company is solvent or insolvent.

  3. Select the Appropriate Route

    MVL, CVL, strike-off or another option — chosen on the facts, with the implications for directors explained.

  4. Prepare Documentation

    Statutory paperwork, statements of affairs, resolutions and creditor notices are drafted and checked.

  5. Formal Liquidation Begins

    The liquidator is appointed, assets are realised and creditor communication moves across to the appointed office holder.

  6. Company Affairs Are Concluded

    Final reporting is completed, distributions are made where funds allow and the company is dissolved.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions About Company Liquidators in Romiley

Still unsure? A short, confidential conversation is usually the fastest way to get clarity.

Ask a Specialist

A 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.
