Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a Creditors Voluntary Liquidation (CVL) and a Members Voluntary Liquidation (MVL)?
A CVL is used when a company is insolvent, meaning it cannot pay its debts as they fall due. It is initiated by the directors and involves a meeting of creditors to approve the liquidation. An MVL is for solvent companies where the directors and shareholders decide to close the business, often for retirement or restructuring. In an MVL, a statutory declaration of solvency is made, and the process is typically faster and more cost-effective.
How long does the liquidation process take in Stevenage?
The duration varies depending on the complexity of the company’s affairs. A straightforward MVL can be completed in as little as 6 to 12 months, while a CVL may take 12 to 18 months or longer if there are complex asset realisations, legal disputes, or outstanding investigations. Our liquidators provide a realistic timeline at the outset and keep you informed throughout the process.
Can I continue trading while my company is being liquidated?
No, once a liquidation order is made, the liquidator takes control of the company and trading must cease immediately. However, in some cases, the liquidator may continue trading for a short period to maximise asset value or complete existing contracts, but this is at their discretion. It is illegal for directors to trade during liquidation without the liquidator's consent.
What are the costs involved in hiring a company liquidator in Stevenage?
Fees vary based on the size and complexity of the company. For a CVL, fees are often based on a percentage of asset realisations or an agreed fixed fee, subject to approval by creditors. For an MVL, fees are typically fixed and agreed in advance. We provide transparent fee structures with no hidden costs, and our initial consultation is always free.
Will I be personally liable for company debts after liquidation?
In most cases, directors are not personally liable for company debts if they have acted in accordance with their duties and not engaged in wrongful trading or fraudulent activity. However, if personal guarantees were given for loans or leases, creditors can pursue you personally. Our liquidators will assess your situation and advise on any potential liabilities.
What happens to employees during a company liquidation?
When a company goes into liquidation, employees are automatically made redundant from the date of the winding-up order. The liquidator will assist employees in claiming redundancy pay, unpaid wages, and holiday pay from the National Insurance Fund. We ensure that all employee rights are respected and that claims are processed promptly.
