ASSESSMENT

Is Liquidation the Right Path for Your Company?

When cash flow tightens, debts mount, or a major contract falls through, you may consider liquidation. However, it is not always the obvious answer. A licensed insolvency practitioner can assess your situation and explain alternatives like administration or a company voluntary arrangement.

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 Tilbury

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

Ask a Specialist

A company liquidator is a licensed insolvency practitioner who manages the closure of a company. They sell assets, settle debts, and distribute any remaining funds to creditors. They also ensure that all legal requirements are met and that the company is formally dissolved.

The cost of liquidation varies based on the complexity of the company's affairs. Typically, fees range from £4,000 to £8,000 plus VAT, but this can be higher for larger companies. The liquidator's fee is paid from the company's assets, not from your personal funds.

Any company that is insolvent, meaning it cannot pay its debts as they fall due, may be eligible for liquidation. The company must pass a resolution to wind up, and a licensed insolvency practitioner must be appointed to act as liquidator.

The length of the liquidation process depends on the complexity of the case. A straightforward liquidation can be completed in around six to twelve months, but if there are complex asset sales or legal issues, it may take longer.

Alternatives include administration, which aims to rescue the company as a going concern, or a company voluntary arrangement (CVA), which allows you to repay debts over a period. A licensed insolvency practitioner can help you decide which option is best.

Employees are made redundant when a company enters liquidation. They may be entitled to redundancy pay, unpaid wages, and holiday pay from the National Insurance Fund. The liquidator will provide them with the necessary forms to make claims.

Yes, you can liquidate a company with no assets, but it may be considered a 'no asset liquidation'. In such cases, the liquidator's fees may need to be covered by the directors or creditors, or the company may be struck off the register instead.

Directors can be personally liable for company debts if they have acted wrongfully, such as trading while insolvent or misusing company funds. The liquidator can pursue directors for repayment if they have breached their duties.

Choose a licensed insolvency practitioner who is authorised by a recognised professional body. Look for someone with experience in your industry and who offers clear, upfront fees. You can connect with a specialist listed on AccountingFirms to ensure you get expert advice.

Compulsory liquidation is ordered by a court, usually after a creditor petitions for it. Voluntary liquidation is initiated by the company's shareholders. Creditors' voluntary liquidation (CVL) is used when the company is insolvent, while members' voluntary liquidation (MVL) is for solvent companies.
