Frequently asked questions
What is the role of a company liquidator in Richmond?
A company liquidator in Richmond is a licensed insolvency practitioner who takes control of an insolvent company, realises its assets, settles creditor claims, and formally closes the company. Their duties include investigating the company's affairs, reporting to creditors and the Insolvency Service, and ensuring that the distribution of funds follows the legal priority order. They also advise directors on their legal responsibilities and potential personal liability risks.
How much does a company liquidation cost in Richmond?
The cost of a company liquidation in Richmond varies based on the complexity of the case, the number of assets, and the level of creditor involvement. Typically, fees range from £3,000 to £7,000 plus VAT for a straightforward creditor's voluntary liquidation (CVL). Our firm provides a fixed-fee quote after an initial free assessment, with no hidden charges. The fee is paid from the company's assets before distributions to creditors, subject to approval.
What is the difference between a creditors' voluntary liquidation (CVL) and compulsory liquidation?
A creditors' voluntary liquidation (CVL) is initiated by the company's directors when they believe the company is insolvent, and shareholders pass a resolution to wind up. The creditors then approve the appointment of a liquidator. Compulsory liquidation is a court-ordered process, usually triggered by a creditor petitioning for a winding-up order. CVL is generally faster, less costly, and gives directors more control over the process, whereas compulsory liquidation is adversarial and can lead to director investigations.
Can directors of a Richmond company be personally liable for debts after liquidation?
Directors are generally not personally liable for company debts if they have acted in good faith and complied with their duties. However, personal liability can arise if they have given personal guarantees, traded wrongfully (continuing to trade while knowing the company cannot avoid insolvency), misappropriated assets, or made preferential payments to certain creditors. A liquidator can pursue directors for recovery of funds in such cases. Seeking early professional advice reduces this risk.
What happens to employees when a company goes into liquidation in Richmond?
When a company enters liquidation, all employees are automatically dismissed from the date the liquidator is appointed. Employees become unsecured creditors for unpaid wages, holiday pay, and redundancy entitlements. They can claim certain statutory payments from the National Insurance Fund (via the Redundancy Payments Service), including up to 8 weeks of arrears of pay, statutory redundancy, and notice pay. The liquidator provides each employee with a claim form and guidance on the process.
How long does a company liquidation take in Richmond?
A straightforward creditors' voluntary liquidation in Richmond typically takes between 6 and 12 months to complete. This includes the initial meeting, asset realisation, creditor claims assessment, and final distribution. However, if there are complex asset sales, ongoing legal disputes, or investigations into director conduct, the process can extend to 18 months or longer. Our liquidators provide regular updates and aim to conclude matters as efficiently as possible.
