Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between creditors' voluntary liquidation (CVL) and compulsory liquidation?
Creditors' voluntary liquidation (CVL) is initiated by the company's directors and shareholders when the company is insolvent, allowing them to appoint a liquidator of their choice. Compulsory liquidation is a court-ordered process, typically started by a creditor who petitions the court to wind up the company. CVL generally gives directors more control and can be less costly, while compulsory liquidation often involves court fees and a court-appointed official receiver.
How much does it cost to appoint a company liquidator in Peacehaven?
The cost of liquidation varies depending on the complexity of your case, the size of the company, and the number of assets and creditors. For a simple creditors' voluntary liquidation, fees may start from around £4,000 plus VAT, but this can increase for more complex situations. We always provide a clear, fixed-fee quote before you commit, ensuring there are no hidden costs. Our initial consultation is free and without obligation.
Can I keep trading after my company enters liquidation?
No, once a company enters liquidation, the liquidator takes control of the business and its assets. Trading must cease immediately, except in limited circumstances where the liquidator may continue trading briefly to sell stock or complete contracts for the benefit of creditors. Continuing to trade after liquidation begins could result in personal liability for directors, so it is crucial to seek professional advice before making any decisions.
What happens to employees when a company is liquidated?
When a company is liquidated, all employees are automatically dismissed from the date of liquidation. The liquidator is responsible for ensuring employees receive their statutory redundancy pay, unpaid wages, holiday pay, and any other entitlements. These claims are preferential and are usually paid from the National Insurance Fund if the company has insufficient assets. Our team will guide you through the employee process and help you communicate effectively with your staff.
Are directors personally liable for company debts after liquidation?
In most cases, directors are not personally liable for company debts if they have acted within the law and have not been involved in wrongful trading, fraudulent activity, or personal guarantees. However, if directors have continued trading while insolvent or misused company funds, they could face personal liability. Our liquidators will investigate director conduct and advise you on any potential risks before you proceed with liquidation.
How long does the liquidation process take in Peacehaven?
The length of the liquidation process varies depending on the complexity of the case. A straightforward creditors' voluntary liquidation can often be completed within 6 to 12 months, while more complex cases involving asset realisation or legal disputes may take longer. The liquidator must file final accounts with Companies House and hold a final meeting of creditors before the company is formally dissolved. We will keep you informed at every stage.
