Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a CVL and an MVL in Hood Road?
A Creditors' Voluntary Liquidation (CVL) is used when a company is insolvent and cannot pay its debts, initiated by directors but controlled by creditors. A Members' Voluntary Liquidation (MVL) is for solvent companies that wish to close, where directors make a statutory declaration of solvency. In an MVL, assets are distributed to shareholders after all debts are paid, often with tax advantages.
How long does a company liquidation take in Hood Road?
The timeline varies depending on the complexity of the company's affairs. A straightforward CVL typically completes in 6 to 12 months, while an MVL can be faster, often 3 to 6 months, if all documentation is in order. Complex cases with significant asset realisation or legal disputes may take longer.
Can directors be held personally liable during liquidation in Hood Road?
Directors can be personally liable if they have acted wrongfully, such as trading while insolvent, misusing company funds, or breaching fiduciary duties. However, using a licensed liquidator and cooperating fully can mitigate risks. Our advisors help you navigate these issues to protect your position where legally possible.
What happens to employees when a company is liquidated in Hood Road?
Employees are made redundant when a company enters liquidation. 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 necessary documentation to support these claims.
What are the costs of appointing a company liquidator in Hood Road?
Costs vary based on the size of the company, the complexity of the liquidation, and the chosen procedure. For CVLs, fees are often taken from the company's assets, but if assets are insufficient, directors may need to fund the process. We provide clear, upfront fee structures with no hidden charges, and we offer a free consultation to discuss costs.
Can I continue trading after starting a liquidation in Hood Road?
No. Once a liquidation order is made or a resolution to wind up is passed, trading must cease immediately, except for actions necessary to preserve asset value or complete essential contracts. The liquidator takes control of the company's affairs from that point onward.
