Frequently asked questions
What is a Creditors Voluntary Liquidation (CVL)?
A Creditors Voluntary Liquidation (CVL) is a formal insolvency procedure for a company that cannot pay its debts. Directors call a meeting of shareholders to pass a resolution to wind up the company, and then a licensed insolvency practitioner is appointed as liquidator. The liquidator sells the company's assets and distributes the proceeds to creditors in the statutory order of priority. A CVL is often the best option when there is no realistic chance of rescue.
How much does company liquidation cost in Nantwich?
The cost of liquidation varies based on the complexity of the company's affairs, the number of creditors, and the assets involved. Typically, a straightforward CVL may cost between £4,000 and £6,000 plus VAT, but this can be higher if there are complex issues. Our fees are always agreed in advance and are paid from the company's assets, not from your personal funds. We provide a clear, fixed-fee quote after an initial free consultation.
Can a director be personally liable for company debts?
Generally, directors are not personally liable for company debts because a limited company is a separate legal entity. However, personal liability can arise if you have given personal guarantees, traded wrongfully or fraudulently, or if you have taken director's loans that you cannot repay. A licensed liquidator can advise on your specific situation and help you avoid personal liability by acting in the best interests of creditors.
What happens to employees when a company goes into liquidation?
When a company enters liquidation, employees are automatically dismissed from the date of the winding-up order. They may be able to claim redundancy pay, unpaid wages, holiday pay, and notice pay from the National Insurance Fund (via the Redundancy Payments Service). The liquidator will provide employees with the necessary claim forms (RP1, RP2, and RP3) and guide them through the process.
How long does the liquidation process take in Nantwich?
The length of a liquidation depends on the complexity of the company's affairs. In a straightforward case, the initial liquidation meeting can occur within 2-4 weeks of instruction. The liquidation itself may be completed in 6-12 months, but it can take longer if there are complex asset realisations, legal disputes, or investigations. The liquidator will provide a timeline estimate after the initial review.
What are the alternatives to liquidation for a Nantwich company?
Alternatives include a Company Voluntary Arrangement (CVA), which is a formal agreement to repay creditors over a period of time, often up to five years. Administration is another option, which gives the company protection from creditors while a restructuring or sale of the business as a going concern is attempted. For solvent companies, a Members' Voluntary Liquidation (MVL) is used to close a company and distribute surplus assets tax-efficiently. We assess all options and recommend the most suitable solution.
