Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a CVL and an MVL?
A Creditors Voluntary Liquidation (CVL) is used for an insolvent company that cannot pay its debts, where directors choose to wind up voluntarily to avoid compulsory liquidation. A Members Voluntary Liquidation (MVL) is for a solvent company where directors and shareholders decide to close the business, often for tax efficiency. In an MVL, the company can pay all its debts in full within 12 months, and any surplus is distributed to shareholders.
How much do company liquidators in Buzzard charge?
Fees vary depending on the complexity of the case, the size of the company, and the number of creditors. For a straightforward CVL, typical costs range from £3,000 to £6,000 plus VAT, but we always provide a fixed fee quote before you commit. MVL fees are often lower, starting around £1,500, but depend on the asset structure and work involved. We offer transparent, no-hidden-fee pricing.
Can I continue trading while my company is being liquidated?
No, once a liquidation order is made (either CVL or MVL), the directors' powers cease, and the appointed liquidator takes control of the company's affairs. You cannot trade or enter into new contracts after the liquidation process begins. However, before the formal appointment, you may continue trading if it helps preserve asset value, but you must seek professional advice to avoid wrongful trading claims.
What happens to employees during a company liquidation?
When a company enters liquidation, all employees are automatically dismissed from the date of the liquidation order. The liquidator is responsible for settling employee claims for unpaid wages, holiday pay, and redundancy pay, which may be recoverable from the National Insurance Fund (via the Redundancy Payments Service). We will guide you and your staff through the claims process.
Will I be personally liable for company debts after liquidation?
Generally, no – the primary benefit of a CVL is that it provides a legal shield against personal liability for company debts, provided you have not acted fraudulently or traded wrongfully. However, if you have given personal guarantees for loans or leases, the lender can pursue you personally. Our advisors will review your situation to identify any potential risks before you proceed.
How long does a company liquidation take in Buzzard?
A CVL typically completes within 6 to 12 months, depending on the complexity of asset realisation and creditor claims. An MVL can be completed more quickly, often within 3 to 6 months, as the company is solvent and there are fewer disputes. The liquidator must file final accounts with Companies House and HMRC, which can extend the timeline slightly.
