Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a voluntary liquidation and a compulsory liquidation in Carterton?
A voluntary liquidation is initiated by the company's directors or shareholders, typically through a Creditors' Voluntary Liquidation (CVL) when the company is insolvent but chooses to close. A compulsory liquidation is a court-ordered process, usually started by a creditor who files a winding-up petition because the company has failed to pay debts. In Carterton, our liquidators guide you through both processes, explaining the legal steps, costs, and timelines to help you choose the right path for your circumstances.
Can a company in Carterton continue trading during liquidation?
No, once a company enters formal liquidation, it must cease trading immediately, except for actions necessary to preserve asset value or complete the winding-up process. Our liquidators will advise on any limited exceptions, but generally, the liquidator takes control of the company's affairs, and directors' powers cease. We help you manage the transition smoothly, including notifying employees, suppliers, and customers about the closure.
How much does company liquidation cost in Carterton?
The cost of liquidation varies based on the complexity of the company's affairs, the number of assets, and the level of creditor involvement. For a straightforward CVL, fees typically range from £3,000 to £6,000 plus VAT, but we always provide a fixed fee quote after a free initial review. In compulsory liquidation, costs may be covered by the petitioning creditor or from asset realisation. We offer transparent pricing with no hidden charges, and we can discuss payment options if the company has limited funds.
What are the legal duties of directors during liquidation in Carterton?
Directors have a duty to cooperate fully with the liquidator, providing all company records, financial statements, and asset details. They must not dispose of any assets or make payments to creditors after the liquidation order is made. Directors must also complete a statement of affairs, detailing the company's financial position. Failure to comply can result in personal liability for debts, disqualification as a director, or even criminal penalties. Our team advises directors on their obligations to avoid any pitfalls.
Can I liquidate a solvent company in Carterton?
Yes, a solvent company can be closed through a Members' Voluntary Liquidation (MVL), which is used when the company has sufficient assets to pay all debts in full within 12 months. This process is often used for tax efficiency when extracting retained profits as capital rather than dividends. Our liquidators in Carterton handle MVLs for business owners looking to retire or restructure, ensuring compliance with HMRC and Companies House requirements.
What happens to employees when a company in Carterton goes into liquidation?
When a company enters liquidation, employees are automatically dismissed from the date of the liquidation order. They may be entitled to claim redundancy pay, unpaid wages, holiday pay, and notice pay from the National Insurance Fund (via the Redundancy Payments Service). The liquidator provides each employee with a claim form and guidance on how to apply. We also assist with any preferential claims and ensure employees understand their rights during this challenging time.
