Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between solvent and insolvent liquidation in Alness?
Solvent liquidation, known as Members Voluntary Liquidation (MVL), is used when a company can pay all its debts in full within 12 months. It allows shareholders to extract retained profits tax-efficiently. Insolvent liquidation, or Creditors Voluntary Liquidation (CVL), is for companies that cannot pay debts as they fall due. In a CVL, a licensed insolvency practitioner takes control, realises assets, and distributes proceeds to creditors in a statutory order. Our Alness liquidators can assess your solvency and recommend the correct procedure.
How much do company liquidators charge in Alness?
Fees vary based on the complexity of the liquidation, asset values, and the number of creditors. For a simple CVL, typical fees range from £3,000 to £6,000 plus VAT, often paid from company assets. MVL fees are usually fixed between £1,500 and £3,000. We provide transparent, fixed-fee quotes before you commit. In some cases, the liquidation can be funded by the company's remaining assets, and no upfront payment is required. Always ask for a detailed breakdown to avoid hidden costs.
Can I keep trading after appointing liquidators in Alness?
Once a Creditors Voluntary Liquidation (CVL) is approved, directors lose control and the liquidator takes over. Trading ceases immediately unless the liquidator decides to continue briefly to sell stock or complete contracts for a better return. In a Members Voluntary Liquidation (MVL), trading must stop as the company is solvent and closing. If you wish to continue trading, alternative options like administration or a Company Voluntary Arrangement (CVA) may be more suitable. Our advisors will explain all possibilities before you make a decision.
What are the legal duties of directors during liquidation in Alness?
Directors must cooperate fully with the liquidator, providing all company records, accounts, and financial information. You must not dispose of assets, make preferential payments to creditors, or take any action that could be seen as wrongful trading. You are also required to attend a creditors' meeting if called. Failure to comply can result in personal liability for company debts, disqualification as a director, or even criminal prosecution. Our liquidators provide clear guidance to help you fulfil these duties correctly.
How long does a company liquidation take in Alness?
A Creditors Voluntary Liquidation (CVL) typically takes between 6 to 12 months to complete, depending on asset realisation and creditor claims. A Members Voluntary Liquidation (MVL) can be concluded in as little as 3 to 6 months if the company's affairs are straightforward. Complex cases with litigation, property sales, or disputed claims may take longer. The liquidator must file a final report with Companies House and hold a final meeting before dissolution. We aim to conclude matters as quickly as legally possible.
What happens to employees when a company is liquidated in Alness?
In an insolvent liquidation, employees are automatically dismissed from the date the liquidation order is made. They become preferential creditors for unpaid wages (up to £800 per week), holiday pay, and pension contributions. They can claim redundancy pay and unpaid notice from the National Insurance Fund via the Redundancy Payments Service. The liquidator provides each employee with form RP1 and guidance. In a solvent MVL, employees are usually transferred or made redundant with full contractual payments. We ensure all statutory obligations are met.
