FAQs
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, including the number of creditors and the value of assets. Most practitioners offer a fixed fee for a straightforward Creditors' Voluntary Liquidation. Always request a written quotation before instructing a professional.
Any director of an insolvent company can propose a Creditors' Voluntary Liquidation, provided the company cannot pay its debts as they fall due. You must also have the support of the shareholders, who will pass a resolution to wind up the company.
The process involves a board meeting, a shareholder resolution, and then a meeting of creditors. A licensed insolvency practitioner will be appointed as liquidator. Their role is to realise assets, investigate the company's affairs, and distribute funds to creditors.
A simple Creditors' Voluntary Liquidation can be completed in as little as six to nine months. However, more complex cases involving asset sales or investigations can take several years. The liquidator will provide a timeline based on your specific circumstances.
Alternatives include a Company Voluntary Arrangement, which allows you to repay debts over time, or formal administration, which may rescue the business as a going concern. A licensed professional can assess your financial position and recommend the most suitable course of action.
The liquidator will dismiss all employees upon appointment. Employees may be able to claim certain payments, such as redundancy pay and holiday pay, from the National Insurance Fund. The liquidator will provide the necessary forms to make these claims.
Directors can be held personally liable if they have given personal guarantees, traded wrongfully, or acted in breach of their fiduciary duties. A liquidator will investigate the conduct of directors and may take legal action to recover funds for creditors.
You will need to provide the company's books and records, including bank statements, debtors and creditors lists, asset registers, and details of any charges or debentures. The liquidator will also require information about any transactions made in the preceding two years.
Yes, once the liquidation is complete and the company's affairs are fully wound up, the liquidator will apply to Companies House to have the company dissolved. This usually occurs within three months of the final meeting of creditors.
You should choose a practitioner who is licensed by a recognised regulatory body and who has experience in your industry. Speak with a specialist listed on AccountingFirms to ensure you receive professional, regulated advice tailored to your situation.
