Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a Creditors' Voluntary Liquidation (CVL) and a Members' Voluntary Liquidation (MVL)?
A Creditors' Voluntary Liquidation (CVL) is for insolvent companies that cannot pay their debts, where directors voluntarily choose to wind up the business. An MVL is for solvent companies where directors and shareholders decide to close a company that can pay all its liabilities in full, often for tax efficiency or retirement purposes. The processes, documentation, and outcomes differ significantly, so it is important to seek professional advice to determine which route is appropriate for your situation.
How much does it cost to appoint a company liquidator in Middlewich?
The cost of liquidation varies depending on the complexity of the company's affairs, the number of assets, and the level of creditor involvement. For a Creditors' Voluntary Liquidation, fees are typically paid from the company's assets, but if assets are insufficient, directors may need to fund the process personally. We provide a free initial consultation and will give you a clear, fixed-fee quotation before any work begins, so there are no hidden surprises.
What happens to employees when a company goes into liquidation?
When a company enters liquidation, employees are automatically made redundant from the date the liquidation order is made. The appointed liquidator will assess claims for unpaid wages, holiday pay, and redundancy entitlements. Employees may be able to claim certain statutory payments from the National Insurance Fund (via the Redundancy Payments Service) if the company cannot pay them. The liquidator will provide guidance to employees on how to make these claims.
Can I keep my company's assets if I liquidate?
In most liquidations, assets are realised (sold) by the liquidator to repay creditors. However, directors may be able to buy back certain assets from the liquidator at a fair market value, subject to approval. For assets subject to a personal guarantee or a floating charge, the process may be different. It is essential to discuss any assets you wish to retain with your liquidator at the outset to explore all legal options.
What is the role of a director during a compulsory liquidation?
During a compulsory liquidation (which is initiated by a court order, often due to a creditor's petition), directors have a legal duty to cooperate fully with the Official Receiver or appointed liquidator. This includes providing all company records, financial statements, and information about assets and liabilities. Directors must also attend interviews if required and must not dispose of any company assets without permission. Failure to cooperate can lead to personal liability or disqualification.
Will I be personally liable for company debts after liquidation?
Generally, directors are not personally liable for company debts if they have acted lawfully and in accordance with their fiduciary duties. However, personal liability can arise if there has been wrongful trading, fraudulent trading, or if personal guarantees were signed. The liquidator will investigate the conduct of directors and may pursue claims if any misconduct is found. Seeking professional advice early can help you understand and mitigate these risks.
