FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions About Company Liquidators in Shetland
Still unsure? A short, confidential conversation is usually the fastest way to get clarity.
Ask a SpecialistA company liquidator is a licensed insolvency practitioner who manages the closure of a company. They take control of assets, settle debts with creditors, and ensure legal requirements are met. They also investigate director conduct and report to relevant authorities if necessary.
Costs vary depending on the complexity of the case, the size of the company, and the type of liquidation. A licensed practitioner will provide a clear fee structure before you commit. Always ask for a written quote and ensure there are no hidden charges.
A straightforward creditors' voluntary liquidation can take around six to twelve months to complete. However, complex cases with many assets or disputes may take longer. Your liquidator will provide a realistic timeline based on your specific circumstances.
Yes, it is possible to liquidate a solvent company through a members' voluntary liquidation. This is often done when owners wish to retire or move on. For insolvent companies, a creditors' voluntary liquidation is the standard route.
Voluntary liquidation is initiated by the company's shareholders or directors. Compulsory liquidation is ordered by a court, usually following a creditor's petition. The process and implications differ significantly, so professional advice is essential.
Generally, directors are not personally liable for company debts if the company is a limited liability entity. However, personal guarantees, wrongful trading, or fraudulent activity can lead to personal liability. A liquidator will assess this during the process.
Once liquidation begins, the liquidator takes control of the company. Trading typically ceases, except in limited circumstances where the liquidator decides it is beneficial to sell stock or complete contracts. You should not trade without the liquidator's approval.
Employees are made redundant when a company enters liquidation. They may be entitled to claim redundancy pay, unpaid wages, and holiday pay from the National Insurance Fund. The liquidator will provide the necessary documentation for claims.
Yes, alternatives include company voluntary arrangements, administration, or informal restructuring. In some cases, selling the business as a going concern may be possible. A licensed insolvency practitioner can advise on the most suitable option for your situation.
Look for a licensed insolvency practitioner with experience in your industry. Check their credentials and ask for references. A good liquidator will offer a free initial consultation and explain the process clearly, without pressure.
