Frequently asked questions
What is the role of a company liquidator in High Wycombe?
A company liquidator in High Wycombe is a licensed insolvency practitioner who formally closes down a company. Their role involves realising the company's assets, distributing funds to creditors in the correct statutory order, investigating the company's affairs, and ensuring all legal obligations are met. They act in the interests of all creditors and are responsible for submitting final accounts to Companies House and HMRC.
When should a director consider compulsory liquidation?
A director should consider compulsory liquidation when the company is insolvent and cannot pay its debts as they fall due, and a creditor has already obtained a court judgment or issued a winding-up petition. However, it is often more cost-effective and controlled to initiate a Creditors Voluntary Liquidation (CVL) before a petition is presented. Seeking early advice can help you avoid the court process.
What is the difference between CVL and MVL?
A Creditors Voluntary Liquidation (CVL) is used for an insolvent company where liabilities exceed assets, and it is initiated by the directors. A Members Voluntary Liquidation (MVL) is used for a solvent company, typically to extract retained profits as capital gains rather than income tax. The choice depends entirely on the solvency of the business, which must be confirmed by a declaration of solvency for an MVL.
How much do company liquidators in High Wycombe charge?
Fees vary based on the complexity of the case, asset values, and creditor numbers. Most reputable liquidators offer fixed-fee packages for straightforward CVLs, often starting around £4,000 to £6,000 plus VAT and disbursements. For MVLs, fees can be higher due to tax planning work. Always request a written quote before appointing a liquidator, and be wary of upfront fees that seem too low.
Can I keep trading if my company is insolvent?
If your company is insolvent, continuing to trade can lead to personal liability for wrongful trading under the Insolvency Act 1986. You must stop trading as soon as you realise the company cannot pay its debts, unless there is a genuine prospect of rescue. Seeking immediate professional advice is crucial to avoid personal risk and to protect the interests of creditors.
What happens to employees when a company goes into liquidation?
When a company enters liquidation, employees are automatically dismissed from the date of liquidation. They become preferential creditors for unpaid wages, holiday pay, and pension contributions up to statutory limits. They can also claim redundancy pay and unpaid notice from the National Insurance Fund (via the Redundancy Payments Service). The liquidator will provide them with the necessary claim forms.
