Liquidation Options
What does company liquidation mean?
Liquidation is the formal process of closing a limited company. It can be used to bring about the end of a company due to insolvency, or simply to extract the proceeds from a profitable and solvent company.
There are three main types of liquidation in business: Creditors’ Voluntary Liquidation, Members’ Voluntary Liquidation, and Compulsory Liquidation.
When solvency is no longer possible, Help My Business Ltd. offer a range of liquidation options to ensure the most appropriate approach for your business:
Members Voluntary Liquidation (MVL): For companies with surplus assets that are no longer needed, we assist in executing an MVL, which enables the distribution of these assets to shareholders in a tax-efficient manner.
Compulsory Liquidation (WUP): Winding-up Petition (WUP) is issued by one or more company’s creditors freezing company’s bank accounts to prevent assets from being removed. It is heard by judge and without sufficient defense WUP is granted which forces company to wound up.
Company's Voluntary Liquidation (CVL): If your company is unable to meet its financial obligations, we help you navigate the CVL process, allowing for an orderly and legally compliant winding down of your business while minimizing the impact on stakeholders.
