Worried about liquidation?
Liquidation may not be the only option available. Our qualified practitioners will take you through your options and help you make the right choice for your circumstances.
Start again, debt free
Personal liability
We support many of our clients in starting afresh after liquidation - debt‑free and trading under the same or a closely related business name.
Many directors worry about personal liability or being pursued by creditors. Liquidation provides legal protection and brings creditor action to an end.
100% legal & compliant
No Stigma
Liquidation (CVL) is a fully compliant legal process that allows directors to regain control of financial difficulties and avoids personal liability.
Over 20,000 UK companies will enter liquidation this year. There’s no stigma attached - in many cases, it’s the most responsible decision a director can make.
Frequently Asked Questions
We’ve liquidated thousands of companies, and these are the questions directors ask us most often.
Can I legally liquidate my limited company if it has debts?
Yes, you can liquidate a limited company even if it has debts. A CVL is the formal, legally compliant process. Once the company enters liquidation, creditor action is stopped, directors are protected and debts are written off.
Will I be personally liable for company debts?
No, in a Creditors’ Voluntary Liquidation (CVL), directors are generally protected from personal liability. We specialise in providing complete director protection from HMRC and other creditors.
What debts can be written off?
Unsecured company debts are written off - they stay with the company, not the director. This includes HMRC tax debts, supplier costs, bounce back loans, business loans, leases, utility bills, credit cards etc.
Â
We are experts in debt clearance, achieving maximum debt write off for our clients.
Can I start a new company after liquidation?
Yes, after liquidation you are legally allowed to form a new limited company, become a director again and trade in the same industry. We will advise you on this as part of our service.
How long does it take and what does it cost?
Liquidation can be initiated almost immediately - stopping all creditor & legal action - and typically takes one month to complete; sometimes longer in complex cases. It costs between £1,499-£3,500 depending on your specific circumstances. We offer a low price guarentee - we won't be beaten on price. That's our promise.
Take action to avoid liability
If your business is in financial difficulty, we strongly advise you to take advice from a qualified practitioner as early as possible. The biggest mistake we see businesses make is continuing to trade and ignore the situation. ​
​
We advise you:
-
Don't invest more money into your business
-
Don't take on further debts / accrue additional credit
-
Don't take on new loans or borrowing
-
Don't take dividendsÂ
-
Don't continue to trade and ignore the situation
