Liquidations

Liquidations Specialist Solicitors.

Liquidation is a procedure through which the assets of a company are realised and distributed to creditors. Following the end of liquidation, the company is dissolved.

There are three types of liquidation – which are as follows:

1. Compulsory liquidation
   A company can be placed into liquidation by an Order of the Court where a petitioning creditor issues a winding up petition against the company.
2. Creditors Voluntary liquidation (CVL)
   This is the opportunity for shareholders and directors to decide to close the business and appoint a Liquidator.
3. Members Voluntary liquidation (MVL)
   Here the shareholders resolve to appoint a Liquidator and all of the liabilities of the company (including the expenses of Liquidation) are (usually) settled within 12 months.
