FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions About Company Liquidators in St. Columb
Still unsure? A short, confidential conversation is usually the fastest way to get clarity.
Ask a SpecialistThe cost varies depending on the complexity of your company's affairs, the number of creditors, and the work involved. Most licensed practitioners offer a fixed fee for straightforward cases, but you should always request a detailed quote before proceeding.
A company is generally insolvent if it cannot pay its debts as they fall due, its liabilities exceed its assets, or a statutory demand has been served. A licensed insolvency practitioner can assess your position and confirm whether formal insolvency proceedings are necessary.
The process involves a board meeting to pass a resolution, then a meeting of creditors within 14 days. A licensed insolvency practitioner is appointed as liquidator, who then realises assets, investigates director conduct, and distributes funds to creditors in the statutory order.
The initial appointment and creditor meeting can happen within a few weeks. The liquidation itself may take several months to a year or more, depending on asset realisation, legal issues, and the complexity of claims. Your liquidator will provide a timeline after the first review.
Yes, alternatives include a company voluntary arrangement (CVA), administration, or informal negotiations with creditors. In some cases, a sale of the business or a restructuring plan may save the company. A licensed practitioner will explain all options based on your specific situation.
Employees are entitled to claim redundancy pay and other arrears from the National Insurance Fund, but the process is managed by the liquidator. The liquidator will also ensure that employee claims are lodged correctly and advise on the timing of dismissals.
Yes, it is possible to place an insolvent company into liquidation even with few or no assets. The liquidator's fees may be paid from funds advanced by directors or from the realisation of assets, but you should discuss this with a licensed professional as it may affect the process.
Directors must cooperate fully with the liquidator, provide all company records and information, and refrain from disposing of assets without consent. Failure to comply can lead to personal liability, disqualification, or even criminal prosecution.
In most cases, directors are not personally liable for company debts unless they have given personal guarantees or acted wrongfully. However, if you have traded while insolvent or misused funds, you may face personal liability. A licensed practitioner can advise on your exposure.
Look for a licensed insolvency practitioner with experience in your sector, transparent fees, and a clear communication style. You can connect with specialists listed on AccountingFirms who are regulated and authorised to act as liquidators.
