Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a CVL and an MVL?
A Creditors Voluntary Liquidation (CVL) is used when a company is insolvent and cannot pay its debts. An MVL (Members Voluntary Liquidation) is for solvent companies where directors wish to close the business and distribute surplus assets. In an MVL, a statutory declaration of solvency must be made, and the company must pay all debts within 12 months.
How much does a company liquidation cost in Upon Thames?
The cost of a CVL typically ranges from £3,000 to £6,000 plus VAT, depending on the complexity of the case. MVL costs are often lower, starting around £2,500. We provide fixed-fee quotes after a free initial review, so you know exactly what to expect with no hidden charges.
What are the legal duties of directors during insolvency?
Directors must act in the best interests of creditors once insolvency is known or inevitable. This includes avoiding wrongful trading, not taking preferential payments, and ensuring accurate records. Failure to comply can lead to personal liability, disqualification, or even criminal prosecution.
Can I continue trading after appointing a liquidator?
No. Once a liquidator is appointed, they take control of the company's affairs. The directors' powers cease, and the liquidator is responsible for realising assets, investigating prior transactions, and distributing funds to creditors. You cannot trade or use company bank accounts after liquidation begins.
Will I be personally liable for company debts?
In most cases, no—limited liability protects directors. However, personal liability can arise if you have given personal guarantees, engaged in wrongful trading, or misused company funds. Our experts will review your situation to identify any risks and advise on the best course of action.
How long does the liquidation process take in Upon Thames?
A CVL typically completes in 6 to 12 months, depending on asset realisation and creditor claims. An MVL can be faster, often closing within 3 to 6 months. We work efficiently to finalise all matters, including HMRC clearance, as quickly as possible.
