Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a creditors voluntary liquidation (CVL) and a members voluntary liquidation (MVL)?
A CVL is used when a company is insolvent and cannot pay its debts. It is initiated by the directors and involves a meeting of creditors to approve the liquidation. An MVL is used when a company is solvent but the directors wish to close it down, typically for tax efficiency or retirement. In an MVL, shareholders pass a resolution and a liquidator is appointed to distribute assets and dissolve the company.
How much does it cost to appoint a company liquidator in St Albans?
The cost of liquidation varies depending on the complexity of the case, the size of the company, and the type of liquidation required. For a CVL, fees are often based on a percentage of realisable assets or a fixed fee agreed upfront. For an MVL, fees are typically fixed or based on time spent. We provide transparent, competitive quotes and discuss all costs before you commit.
What happens to employees when a company goes into liquidation?
In a CVL, employees are automatically made redundant on the date of liquidation. They may be entitled to claim redundancy pay, unpaid wages, holiday pay, and other statutory entitlements from the National Insurance Fund. The liquidator will provide employees with the necessary forms (RP1, RP2, RP3) and guide them through the claims process. In an MVL, employees are usually transferred or made redundant with proper notice and payments.
Can I continue trading after my company enters liquidation?
No, once a company enters liquidation, the liquidator takes control of the company's affairs and you lose your powers as director. However, in some cases, a pre-pack administration or a company voluntary arrangement (CVA) may allow you to continue trading under certain conditions. Our advisors will explore all alternatives before recommending liquidation.
What are the legal duties of directors during liquidation?
Directors have a duty to cooperate with the liquidator, provide all company records and accounts, and disclose any transactions that may be considered wrongful trading or preferences. Failure to cooperate can lead to personal liability, disqualification, or even criminal prosecution. We help directors understand their obligations and ensure they comply fully.
How long does the liquidation process take in St Albans?
A CVL typically takes between 6 to 12 months to complete, depending on the complexity of asset realisation and creditor claims. An MVL can be completed in as little as 3 to 6 months if the company's affairs are straightforward. The liquidator must file final accounts and a final meeting report before the company is formally dissolved.
