Poppleton & Appleby :: Company Liquidation

Business Recovery and Insolvency Practitioners

Any number of reasons can lead to a company entering into Liquidation.

A Liquidation may be insolvent or solvent.

Solvent Liquidation – Members’ Voluntary Liquidation

A solvent liquidation is known as a Members' Voluntary Liquidation. The Liquidator is appointed by the shareholders of the Company where the assets of that company are sufficient to discharge all known creditors and such cases are dealt with within a twelve month period.

Insolvent Liquidation – Compulsory Liquidation

An insolvent liquidation may be in the form of a Compulsory Liquidation which may be instigated by the issuing of a petition normally by a creditor to the Court or a Creditors' Voluntary Liquidation which commences following the passing of Extraordinary Resolutions by the shareholders.

As with the official receiver, the liquidators principal objectives are to realise the company's assets, investigate the company's affairs and to agree all creditors claims.
