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 and cannot pay its debts. The directors initiate the process, and a licensed insolvency practitioner is appointed to liquidate assets and distribute proceeds to creditors. An MVL is for solvent companies where directors wish to close voluntarily, often for tax efficiency. In an MVL, shareholders approve the liquidation, and the practitioner distributes surplus assets to shareholders after paying all debts.
How much does company liquidation cost in Whitehall?
Costs vary depending on the complexity of the liquidation and the size of the company. For a standard CVL, fees typically range from £3,000 to £6,000 plus VAT, but we offer fixed-fee packages to provide certainty. MVL fees are often lower, starting around £2,500. We always provide a detailed quote after a free initial consultation, with no hidden charges.
How long does the liquidation process take?
A straightforward Creditors’ Voluntary Liquidation usually takes between 6 to 12 months to complete, depending on the complexity of asset realization and creditor claims. Members’ Voluntary Liquidation can be faster, often 3 to 6 months. Compulsory liquidation (court-ordered) may take longer. We provide a clear timeline after assessing your company’s situation.
Can directors be held personally liable for company debts during liquidation?
Directors are generally not personally liable for company debts if they have acted in good faith and complied with their duties. However, personal liability can arise if there has been wrongful trading, fraudulent activity, or if directors have given personal guarantees. Our liquidators can advise you on your specific circumstances and help you avoid potential pitfalls.
What happens to employees during a company liquidation?
In a CVL, employees are made redundant immediately upon the appointment of the liquidator. They may be entitled to claim redundancy pay, unpaid wages, holiday pay, and notice pay from the National Insurance Fund. The liquidator will provide the necessary forms and guidance. In an MVL, employees are typically made redundant before the liquidation begins, with all obligations settled.
Do you offer free initial advice for directors in Whitehall?
Yes, we offer a free, confidential consultation with one of our licensed insolvency practitioners. During this meeting, we assess your financial position, explain your options (including alternatives to liquidation like administration or company voluntary arrangement), and provide honest advice on the best course of action. There is no obligation to proceed.
