Frequently asked questions
What does a company liquidator in Edinburgh do?
A company liquidator in Edinburgh is a licensed insolvency practitioner who manages the formal closure of a company. Their duties include realising assets, settling creditor claims, investigating the company's affairs, and ensuring legal compliance. They also handle employee redundancies, director responsibilities, and communication with regulatory bodies like HMRC, ensuring the liquidation process is completed lawfully and efficiently.
How much does company liquidation cost in Edinburgh?
The cost of company liquidation in Edinburgh varies based on the complexity of the case, the size of the company, and the type of liquidation required. For Creditors Voluntary Liquidation (CVL), fees typically range from £3,000 to £6,000 plus VAT, but many firms offer fixed fees. Members Voluntary Liquidation (MVL) for solvent companies may cost less. Always request a detailed quote before proceeding, and be wary of hidden charges.
What is the difference between CVL and MVL?
CVL (Creditors Voluntary Liquidation) is used for insolvent companies where directors cannot pay debts. MVL (Members Voluntary Liquidation) is for solvent companies that wish to close voluntarily, often for tax efficiency. In a CVL, creditors are involved and may receive a dividend. In an MVL, shareholders approve the closure, and after debts are paid, remaining assets are distributed to shareholders. The process and legal requirements differ significantly.
Can a director be personally liable for company debts in liquidation?
Generally, directors are not personally liable for company debts because a limited company is a separate legal entity. However, personal liability can arise if there has been wrongful trading, fraudulent activity, or if directors have given personal guarantees. Additionally, directors may be liable for unpaid taxes like PAYE or VAT if they were collected but not remitted. A liquidator will investigate and may pursue recovery if misconduct is found.
How long does the liquidation process take in Edinburgh?
A Creditors Voluntary Liquidation typically takes 6 to 12 months to complete, depending on the complexity of asset realisation and creditor claims. Members Voluntary Liquidation can be faster, often 3 to 6 months. Compulsory liquidation (court-ordered) may take longer. The liquidator must file final accounts with Companies House and HMRC, which can extend the timeline. Your liquidator will provide a realistic estimate after reviewing your case.
What happens to employees during company liquidation in Edinburgh?
When a company goes into liquidation, all employees are automatically dismissed from the date the liquidation order is made. The liquidator is responsible for ensuring employees receive their statutory redundancy pay, unpaid wages, holiday pay, and notice pay. These claims are preferential and may be paid from the National Insurance Fund if company assets are insufficient. Employees should contact the Redundancy Payments Service for assistance.
