Frequently asked questions
What is the role of a company liquidator in Aylesford?
A company liquidator in Aylesford is a licensed insolvency practitioner who takes control of a company that is being wound up. Their primary role is to realise the company's assets, settle outstanding debts with creditors in the correct statutory order, investigate the company's affairs, and ultimately dissolve the company from the Companies House register. They act in the interests of all creditors while ensuring the directors' legal duties are met.
How much do company liquidation services cost in Aylesford?
The cost of liquidation in Aylesford varies depending on the complexity of the case, the size of the company, and the type of liquidation required. For a Creditors Voluntary Liquidation (CVL), fees typically range from £3,000 to £7,000 plus VAT and disbursements. For a solvent Members Voluntary Liquidation (MVL), costs are often fixed or based on asset realisation. We always provide a clear, written fee quote before you commit to any action.
What is the difference between CVL and MVL?
A Creditors Voluntary Liquidation (CVL) is used for an insolvent company that cannot pay its debts. The directors voluntarily place the company into liquidation, and a liquidator is appointed to manage the process for creditors. A Members Voluntary Liquidation (MVL) is for a solvent company, where shareholders decide to wind up the business for reasons such as retirement or restructuring. In an MVL, the liquidator distributes surplus assets to shareholders after all debts are paid.
Can directors be held personally liable for company debts during liquidation?
Generally, directors are not personally liable for company debts if the company is a limited liability entity. However, personal liability can arise if there has been wrongful trading, fraudulent trading, or if directors have given personal guarantees for business loans. A liquidator will investigate director conduct and may pursue recovery of assets if funds were misused or preferential payments were made to certain creditors before liquidation.
How long does the company liquidation process take in Aylesford?
The duration of a liquidation depends on the complexity of the case. A straightforward Creditors Voluntary Liquidation (CVL) can be completed in 6 to 12 months, while a Members Voluntary Liquidation (MVL) often takes 3 to 6 months if all assets are realised quickly. However, cases involving complex asset sales, legal disputes, or missing records can take longer. Your liquidator will provide a realistic timeline after an initial review.
What happens to employees when a company goes into liquidation?
When a company enters liquidation, employees are automatically dismissed from the date of the winding-up order or the liquidator's appointment. The liquidator will assist employees in claiming statutory redundancy pay, unpaid wages, holiday pay, and notice pay from the National Insurance Fund (via the Redundancy Payments Service). Employees are also entitled to claim for any outstanding pension contributions, but they must submit their claims within the specified time limits.
