Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a Creditors Voluntary Liquidation (CVL) and a Members Voluntary Liquidation (MVL)?
A CVL is used for an insolvent company where directors believe the business cannot pay its debts. It is initiated by the directors but controlled by creditors. An MVL is for a solvent company where shareholders decide to close the business, often for retirement or restructuring. In an MVL, a licensed liquidator distributes assets to shareholders after all debts are paid.
How much does company liquidation cost in Sawbridgeworth?
The cost varies depending on the complexity of the company's affairs, the number of assets, and the level of creditor involvement. For a simple CVL, fees typically range from £3,000 to £6,000 plus VAT, but we offer fixed-fee packages. For an MVL, costs are often lower. We provide a free quote after reviewing your company's financial position.
Can a director be held personally liable for company debts during liquidation?
Generally, no – limited liability protects directors. However, personal liability can arise if you have given personal guarantees, traded wrongfully or fraudulently, or misused company funds. Our advisors will review your conduct to identify any potential risks and help you mitigate them before liquidation begins.
How long does the liquidation process take in Sawbridgeworth?
A Creditors Voluntary Liquidation typically takes between 6 to 12 months to complete, depending on asset realisation and creditor claims. A Members Voluntary Liquidation can be faster, often 3 to 6 months. The liquidator must finalise all statutory requirements, which can extend the timeline if complications arise.
What happens to employees when a company goes into liquidation?
Employees are made redundant from the date of liquidation. They may be entitled to statutory redundancy pay, notice pay, and unpaid wages from the National Insurance Fund. The liquidator will provide the necessary forms (RP1, RP2) and guide employees on how to claim their entitlements. We ensure all employee rights are respected throughout the process.
Can I continue trading after my company enters liquidation?
No. Once a winding-up order is made or a CVL is approved, the liquidator takes control of the company's assets and affairs. Directors cannot trade or dispose of assets. However, in some cases, the liquidator may allow the business to trade briefly to sell stock or complete contracts, but only under strict supervision.
