Creditors Voluntary Liquidation

Putting a company into liquidation means that it must no longer trade so that capital can be recovered once the assets of the company have been realized for the benefit of the company’s creditors. If there is not sufficient money available to pay the company’s debts, the Directors of the company are at risk wrongful trading.

Our specialist debt management advisors will work with our recommended IP to ensure that the liquidation process runs smoothly. Whilst the IP has a duty to act in the best interest of your creditors, our aim is to ensure we work in your best interest and to afford you all rights and protection available.

We will work with you and your accountant to get a true reflection of the company’s assets and liabilities as well as any potential viability of the company. The IP will be responsible for setting up a creditor’s meeting which will be when the company formally enters liquidation. We will work with the IP to prepare a report which will be sent to the creditors specifying the financial position of the company.

As the assets of the company will need to be sold – should you wish to start a new company, you will be given the opportunity to buy the assets. There will be no restrictions placed upon you setting up a new company despite the current one being entered into a creditors voluntary liquidation.
