Frequently asked questions
What is a Creditors' Voluntary Liquidation (CVL) and how does it work in Brentford?
A Creditors' Voluntary Liquidation (CVL) is a formal insolvency procedure for a company that cannot pay its debts. In Brentford, our licensed insolvency practitioners will call a board meeting to pass a resolution for voluntary winding-up, then convene a creditors' meeting. We compile a statement of affairs, assess all assets and liabilities, and manage the realisation of assets to distribute funds to creditors in the statutory order. The process typically takes 6-12 months, after which the company is dissolved.
Can I use a Members' Voluntary Liquidation (MVL) if my Brentford company is solvent?
Yes, if your company is solvent and you wish to close it down, a Members' Voluntary Liquidation (MVL) is the appropriate procedure. This is often used for tax-efficient distribution of retained profits and assets. Our Brentford team will verify solvency through a declaration, appoint a liquidator, and manage the winding-up process. An MVL can be completed in as little as 6-8 weeks, subject to statutory requirements, and allows for capital gains treatment on distributions.
What are the legal duties of directors during liquidation in Brentford?
Directors have a legal duty to act in the best interests of creditors once insolvency is apparent. This includes avoiding wrongful trading, not making preferential payments, and providing full disclosure of company affairs. During liquidation, directors must cooperate with the liquidator, provide all necessary books and records, and attend meetings as required. Failure to comply can lead to personal liability, disqualification, or even criminal prosecution. Our experts guide you through every step to ensure compliance.
How much does company liquidation cost in Brentford?
The cost of liquidation in Brentford varies depending on the complexity of the case, asset value, and creditor structure. For a straightforward CVL, fees typically range from £3,000 to £6,000 plus VAT, but we offer fixed-fee packages with no hidden charges. MVL costs are often higher due to tax planning involved. We provide a free, no-obligation quotation after assessing your company's financial position. Our pricing is transparent and competitive, ensuring you receive value for money.
Can I continue trading while my company is in liquidation?
Once a liquidation order is made or a resolution is passed, the liquidator takes control of the company, and trading must cease unless the liquidator decides it is beneficial to continue for a short period to realise assets or complete contracts. Directors cannot trade without the liquidator's consent. Attempting to trade while insolvent can result in personal liability for debts incurred. Our Brentford liquidators will advise you on the correct course of action immediately after appointment.
What happens to employees if my Brentford company goes into liquidation?
When a company enters liquidation, all employees are automatically dismissed from the date of the liquidation order or resolution. The liquidator is responsible for ensuring employees receive their statutory entitlements, including unpaid wages, holiday pay, and redundancy pay, which may be claimed from the National Insurance Fund. Our team will assist employees in making these claims and provide guidance on their rights. We handle all communications with staff sensitively and in accordance with employment law.
