Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a Creditors Voluntary Liquidation (CVL) and a Members Voluntary Liquidation (MVL)?
A CVL is used for an insolvent company that cannot pay its debts. It is initiated by the directors and involves a meeting of creditors, where a licensed insolvency practitioner is appointed to sell assets and distribute funds to creditors. An MVL is for a solvent company, where the directors and shareholders decide to close the business voluntarily. In an MVL, the liquidator distributes surplus assets to shareholders, often in a tax-efficient manner, and the company is formally dissolved.
Can I continue trading if my company is in financial difficulty in Kings Langley?
Yes, you can continue trading as long as you do not trade while insolvent, meaning you must not take on new debts that you cannot repay. If you continue trading while insolvent, you risk personal liability for wrongful trading. It is crucial to seek professional advice from a licensed liquidator as soon as you suspect financial problems, as early intervention can provide more options and protect you from potential legal consequences.
What are the costs involved in appointing a company liquidator in Kings Langley?
The costs vary depending on the complexity of the liquidation, the size of the company, and whether it is a CVL or MVL. For a CVL, fees are often paid from the company's assets, but if there are insufficient assets, directors may need to contribute. For an MVL, fees are agreed upfront and are typically based on the time and work involved. We provide transparent, fixed-fee quotes before any work begins, ensuring no hidden costs.
How long does the liquidation process take in Kings Langley?
A Creditors Voluntary Liquidation typically takes between 6 to 12 months to complete, depending on the complexity of the asset realisation and creditor claims. A Members Voluntary Liquidation can be completed in as little as 3 to 6 months, provided all statutory requirements are met. We strive to expedite the process while ensuring full compliance with the Insolvency Act 1986.
Will I be personally liable for company debts after liquidation?
In most cases, directors are not personally liable for company debts if they have acted in good faith and complied with their statutory duties. However, if you have given personal guarantees for business loans or overdrafts, creditors can pursue you personally for those amounts. Additionally, if there is evidence of wrongful trading, fraudulent activity, or misfeasance, you could be held personally liable. Our liquidators will advise you on your specific exposure.
Can I use a company liquidator to close a solvent company and extract cash tax-efficiently?
Yes, a Members Voluntary Liquidation (MVL) is an excellent way to close a solvent company and distribute retained profits to shareholders as capital, which is often taxed at a lower rate than dividends or salary. Since April 2016, Business Asset Disposal Relief (previously Entrepreneurs' Relief) may be available, reducing the Capital Gains Tax rate to 10% on qualifying gains. Our team can structure the MVL to maximise tax efficiency and ensure full compliance with HMRC rules.
