Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a solvent and insolvent liquidation in Liss?
A solvent liquidation, often called a Members' Voluntary Liquidation (MVL), is used when a company is financially healthy and directors wish to close it, typically for tax efficiency. An insolvent liquidation, such as a Creditors' Voluntary Liquidation (CVL), is used when the company cannot pay its debts. In a CVL, a licensed insolvency practitioner takes control to realise assets and distribute funds to creditors, whereas an MVL is controlled by shareholders who appoint a liquidator to distribute surplus assets.
How much do company liquidators charge in Liss?
Fees vary depending on the complexity and size of the company. For a Creditors' Voluntary Liquidation (CVL), fees are often based on a fixed fee structure or a percentage of the assets realised, subject to a minimum amount. For a solvent Members' Voluntary Liquidation (MVL), fees are typically fixed and quoted upfront. We always provide a clear, written quotation before any work begins, ensuring there are no hidden costs or surprises.
Can I continue trading while my company is being liquidated?
No, once a liquidation order is formally made and a liquidator is appointed, the directors' powers cease. The liquidator takes over control of the company to protect the interests of creditors. Trading can only continue if the liquidator decides it is beneficial to sell the business as a going concern or to complete outstanding contracts. Engaging in trading after insolvency without professional advice can lead to personal liability for directors.
What happens to my employees if my company in Liss goes into liquidation?
When a company enters insolvent liquidation, employees are automatically dismissed from the date of the liquidation order. The liquidator will provide the necessary redundancy paperwork. Employees may be able to claim statutory redundancy pay, unpaid wages, and holiday pay from the National Insurance Fund (via the Redundancy Payments Service). The liquidator will guide you and your employees through this process.
How long does the liquidation process take in Liss?
The duration depends on the type of liquidation and the complexity of the company's affairs. A solvent MVL can often be completed within 6 to 12 months, mainly due to the statutory waiting period for tax clearance from HMRC. An insolvent CVL can be completed in a similar timeframe, but it may take longer if there are complex asset sales, litigation, or investigations into director conduct.
Will I be personally liable for company debts if I choose liquidation?
Generally, no. The primary benefit of limited liability is that directors are not personally responsible for company debts unless they have provided personal guarantees, such as for a business loan or lease. However, personal liability can arise if there is evidence of fraudulent trading, wrongful trading, or misfeasance. Our liquidators will review the company's history to advise you on your specific exposure.
