Frequently asked questions
What is a company liquidator and when do I need one in Luton?
A company liquidator is a licensed insolvency practitioner who formally closes a company by selling its assets, paying creditors, and dissolving the business. You need one if your company is insolvent (cannot pay its debts) and you wish to avoid legal action from creditors, or if you are closing a solvent company through a Members Voluntary Liquidation. In Luton, our experts assess your financial position and recommend the most suitable liquidation route, ensuring you meet all legal obligations under the Insolvency Act 1986.
What is the difference between Creditors Voluntary Liquidation (CVL) and Members Voluntary Liquidation (MVL)?
A Creditors Voluntary Liquidation (CVL) is used when a company is insolvent and cannot pay its debts. It involves a meeting of creditors, and a liquidator is appointed to realise assets and distribute funds to creditors. A Members Voluntary Liquidation (MVL) is for solvent companies where directors can declare solvency, and the process is used to distribute surplus assets to shareholders in a tax-efficient manner. Our Luton liquidators guide you through both processes, explaining the legal and financial implications clearly.
How much does company liquidation cost in Luton?
The cost of company liquidation in Luton varies depending on the complexity of the case, the size of the company, and the type of liquidation. For a Creditors Voluntary Liquidation, fees typically range from £3,000 to £6,000 plus VAT, but this can be higher for complex cases. Members Voluntary Liquidation costs are often lower, starting around £2,500. We provide a fixed-fee quote after a free consultation, so you know exactly what to expect with no hidden charges. The liquidator's fees are paid from company assets, but if assets are insufficient, directors may need to fund the process.
Can I continue trading after appointing a liquidator in Luton?
No, once a liquidator is formally appointed, your powers as a director cease. The liquidator takes control of the company's affairs, and you cannot trade, sell assets, or make payments without the liquidator's approval. However, in some cases, the liquidator may allow limited trading to complete contracts or sell stock as a going concern, but this is at their discretion. Our Luton team will advise you on the immediate steps to take and ensure you do not commit wrongful trading, which could lead to personal liability.
What happens to employees when a company is liquidated in Luton?
When a company enters liquidation, all employees are automatically dismissed from the date the winding-up order is made or the resolution is passed. The liquidator is responsible for settling employee claims, including unpaid wages, holiday pay, and redundancy pay, as preferential creditors. Employees may be able to claim certain payments from the National Insurance Fund if the company cannot pay. Our liquidators work with employees to explain their rights and ensure they receive all statutory entitlements, providing support during a difficult time.
How long does the liquidation process take in Luton?
The duration of liquidation in Luton depends on the type and complexity of the case. A Creditors Voluntary Liquidation (CVL) typically takes between 6 to 12 months to complete, but it can be longer if there are complex asset recoveries or legal disputes. A Members Voluntary Liquidation (MVL) often takes 6 to 9 months, as it involves finalising accounts and distributing assets. Our experienced liquidators work efficiently to close your company as quickly as possible, keeping you informed at every stage and ensuring all statutory requirements are met.
