Frequently asked questions
What is the role of a company liquidator in Thatcham?
A company liquidator in Thatcham is a licensed insolvency practitioner who takes control of a company that is being closed down. Their role is to realise the company's assets, settle outstanding debts with creditors, distribute any remaining funds to shareholders, and formally dissolve the company with Companies House. They also investigate the directors' conduct and ensure all legal requirements are met.
When should I consider appointing a liquidator for my Thatcham company?
You should consider appointing a liquidator if your company is insolvent (unable to pay its debts as they fall due) and you cannot see a viable way forward, or if you have a solvent company that you no longer need and you want to extract retained profits in a tax-efficient manner. Early advice is crucial, as trading while insolvent can lead to personal liability for directors.
What is the difference between a CVL and an MVL?
A Creditors' Voluntary Liquidation (CVL) is for insolvent companies, where a liquidator is appointed by the shareholders and creditors to wind up the business and distribute assets to creditors. A Members' Voluntary Liquidation (MVL) is for solvent companies, where directors swear a declaration of solvency, and the liquidator distributes assets to shareholders after paying all debts. MVLs often offer tax advantages for extracting retained profits.
How much does it cost to hire a liquidator in Thatcham?
The cost of liquidation varies depending on the complexity of the case, the size of the company, and the type of liquidation required. For a simple CVL, fees can start from around £4,000 plus VAT, but this can increase if there are complex asset sales or investigations. We always provide a fixed-fee quote before you commit, with no hidden costs.
Can I still trade while my company is in liquidation?
Once a liquidator is appointed, they take control of the company, and directors' powers cease. You cannot trade or make decisions about the company's assets without the liquidator's permission. However, in certain circumstances, a liquidator may allow trading to continue briefly to complete contracts or sell the business as a going concern, but this is at their discretion.
What are the consequences of not liquidating an insolvent company in Thatcham?
If you continue to trade an insolvent company, you risk personal liability for wrongful trading, which can lead to disqualification as a director and personal financial penalties. Additionally, creditors can petition the court to wind up the company compulsorily, which is more costly and less controlled. Proactively appointing a liquidator demonstrates that you are acting responsibly and can protect your reputation.
