Frequently asked questions
What is the role of a company liquidator in Gravesend?
A company liquidator is a licensed insolvency practitioner who takes control of a company that is being wound up. Their role is to collect and sell company assets, settle outstanding debts with creditors in the correct legal order, investigate the reasons for insolvency, and ultimately dissolve the company from the Companies House register. They also ensure compliance with the Insolvency Act and report on the conduct of directors.
How much does company liquidation cost in Gravesend?
The cost of liquidation varies depending on the complexity of the case, the number of creditors, and the assets involved. For a Creditors Voluntary Liquidation (CVL), fees are often based on a percentage of realisable assets or a fixed fee agreed upfront. Many firms offer a no-win, no-fee option if there are no assets. Members Voluntary Liquidation (MVL) fees are typically fixed and quoted in advance. Always obtain a detailed written quote before proceeding.
What is the difference between CVL and MVL?
A Creditors Voluntary Liquidation (CVL) is used when a company is insolvent and cannot pay its debts as they fall due. It is initiated by directors and results in the company being wound up, with creditors receiving a dividend from asset sales. A Members Voluntary Liquidation (MVL) is used for a solvent company where shareholders decide to close it, often for tax efficiency. In an MVL, all debts are paid in full, and surplus funds are distributed to shareholders.
Can a director be held personally liable for company debts in Gravesend?
Directors can be held personally liable for company debts if they have acted wrongfully, such as trading while insolvent, misusing company funds, or breaching their fiduciary duties. A liquidator may pursue directors for recovery of assets or compensation. However, by using a licensed liquidator early and cooperating fully, directors can often avoid personal liability and protect themselves from disqualification proceedings.
What happens to employees when a company goes into liquidation?
When a company enters liquidation, all employees are automatically dismissed from the date the winding-up order is made. 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 preferential creditors for certain claims, meaning they may receive payment from company assets before unsecured creditors.
How long does the liquidation process take in Gravesend?
The length of the liquidation process depends on the complexity of the case. A straightforward CVL can often be completed within 6 to 12 months, but the liquidator must remain office until all assets are realised and investigations are complete. An MVL can sometimes be concluded in as little as 3 to 6 months. Complex cases with litigation or asset recovery can take several years. Your liquidator will provide a timeline based on your specific situation.
