Frequently asked questions
What are the signs that my company in Wickford needs liquidation?
Common signs include persistent cash flow problems, inability to pay suppliers or HMRC on time, creditor legal actions such as statutory demands or winding-up petitions, and a balance sheet showing liabilities exceeding assets. If you are considering liquidation, it is crucial to seek professional advice immediately to avoid wrongful trading claims against directors.
What is the difference between a Creditors Voluntary Liquidation (CVL) and a Members Voluntary Liquidation (MVL)?
A CVL is used for an insolvent company where directors initiate the process to wind up the business and avoid further debt. An MVL is for a solvent company that wishes to close voluntarily, often for tax efficiency or retirement. In an MVL, shareholders appoint a liquidator to distribute assets and dissolve the company, which can take advantage of capital gains treatment.
How much does company liquidation cost in Wickford?
The cost of a CVL typically ranges from £4,000 to £8,000 plus VAT, depending on the complexity of the case, the number of creditors, and the work involved. For an MVL, fees are often lower and can be fixed. We provide transparent fixed-fee quotes before you commit, ensuring no hidden costs.
Can I keep trading after my company enters liquidation?
No. Once a liquidation order is made or a CVL is approved, the liquidator takes control of the company's affairs. Trading ceases immediately, and the liquidator is responsible for realising assets and settling debts. Continuing to trade after liquidation can lead to personal liability for the directors.
What happens to employees when a company is liquidated in Wickford?
Employees are made redundant on the date of liquidation. They may be entitled to claim statutory redundancy pay, unpaid wages, holiday pay, and notice pay from the National Insurance Fund via the Insolvency Service. The liquidator will provide the necessary forms and guidance to each affected employee.
Can directors be held personally liable for company debts in liquidation?
Directors can be held personally liable if they have acted wrongfully, such as trading while insolvent without reasonable prospect of recovery, or if they have misused company funds. However, if you act on professional advice and cooperate fully with the liquidator, personal liability is rare. Our experts help you avoid common pitfalls.
