Frequently asked questions
What are the different types of company liquidation available in Hailsham?
There are three main types: Creditors Voluntary Liquidation (CVL) for insolvent companies where directors choose to wind up; Compulsory Liquidation which is court-ordered following a creditor's petition; and Members Voluntary Liquidation (MVL) for solvent companies wishing to close. Our Hailsham liquidators will assess your financial position and recommend the most appropriate route, ensuring you understand the legal implications and costs involved at each stage.
How much do company liquidators in Hailsham charge?
Fees vary depending on the complexity of the liquidation, asset realisation, and number of creditors. Typically, a CVL costs between £4,000 and £8,000 plus VAT, with a deposit required upfront. For MVL, fees are often fixed or based on time spent. We provide transparent, fixed-fee quotes after a free initial consultation, with no hidden charges. Our licensed IPs will confirm all costs in writing before any work begins.
Can I continue trading while my company is being liquidated?
No. Once a liquidation order is made or a CVL is approved, trading must cease immediately except for actions necessary to preserve asset value or complete existing contracts with the liquidator's permission. Continuing to trade while insolvent can lead to personal liability for wrongful trading. Our Hailsham advisors will guide you on the correct point to stop trading and how to hand over control to the liquidator.
What happens to company directors after liquidation in Hailsham?
Directors are not personally liable for company debts unless they have given personal guarantees, engaged in fraudulent or wrongful trading, or breached fiduciary duties. After a CVL, directors are usually released from their duties, but they must cooperate fully with the liquidator's investigation. In most cases, directors can start a new business immediately, though restrictions may apply if disqualification proceedings occur.
Will I lose my assets if my company goes into liquidation?
Company assets are used to repay creditors, but personal assets such as your home, car, or savings are protected unless you provided personal guarantees or took secured loans against them. Directors' pensions and certain statutory redundancy payments may also be protected. Our Hailsham liquidators will explain your rights and help you structure any personal guarantees before liquidation to minimise risk.
How long does the liquidation process take in Hailsham?
A straightforward CVL typically completes within 6 to 12 months, but the process can extend if there are complex asset realisations, legal disputes, or incomplete records. The liquidator must file final accounts with Companies House and hold a final meeting of creditors. For MVL, completion often occurs within 3 to 6 months. We provide realistic timelines after reviewing your company's financial documentation.
