Frequently asked questions
What is the role of a company liquidator in the West Midlands?
A company liquidator is a licensed insolvency practitioner who manages the winding-up of a company's affairs. Their role includes selling company assets, settling creditor claims, investigating director conduct, and distributing any remaining funds to shareholders. In the West Midlands, liquidators also ensure compliance with UK insolvency law and help directors avoid personal liability by acting properly during the process.
How much does a Creditors Voluntary Liquidation (CVL) cost in the West Midlands?
The cost of a CVL varies based on company complexity, asset value, and creditor numbers. Typically, fees range from £4,000 to £8,000 plus VAT, but many liquidators offer fixed-fee packages. Our West Midlands firm provides a free quote after reviewing your company's financial records. The fee is paid from company assets, not out of your personal pocket, and we ensure no hidden costs.
Can I keep trading if my company is insolvent in the West Midlands?
Directors can continue trading if there is a reasonable prospect of avoiding liquidation, but once insolvency is confirmed, trading on may lead to wrongful trading claims. In the West Midlands, it is vital to seek professional advice immediately. A liquidator can help you assess viability, but if liquidation is inevitable, we recommend ceasing new credit transactions to protect yourself.
What is the difference between a CVL and an MVL?
A Creditors Voluntary Liquidation (CVL) is used for insolvent companies where liabilities exceed assets. A Members Voluntary Liquidation (MVL) is for solvent companies that wish to close, often for tax efficiency. In the West Midlands, our team handles both. An MVL requires a declaration of solvency, while a CVL involves creditor meetings and a statutory report.
How long does a company liquidation take in the West Midlands?
The duration depends on the liquidation type and case complexity. A CVL typically completes within 6 to 12 months, while an MVL can be faster, often 3 to 6 months. Compulsory liquidation may take longer due to court processes. Our West Midlands liquidators aim to expedite the process by efficiently realising assets and resolving claims, keeping you informed at every stage.
What happens to employees during a company liquidation in the West Midlands?
Employees are automatically made redundant when a company enters liquidation. The liquidator is responsible for notifying employees and the Redundancy Payments Service. Employees can claim statutory redundancy pay, unpaid wages, holiday pay, and notice pay from the National Insurance Fund. Our team provides guidance to ensure employees receive their entitlements and helps directors with their own claims.
