Call now on 0800 331 7417

Many businesses have to deal with adverse conditions at some point during their lifespan.  It’s not uncommon for external conditions such as clients closing down with unpaid invoices, pressure from HMRC and even market forces to mount up and push the balance sheet into the red.

In such situations many directors are unaware of their choices. However, there is an official insolvency procedure known as a creditors’ voluntary liquidation (or "CVL") that allows you to formally close down the company and use the remaining assets to resolve your debts.

Once the company has chosen this course of action an insolvency practitioner is appointed to oversee the process. A schedule is composed of all the remaining assets which are subsequently auctioned off to repay the company’s creditors on a priority basis.

It is possible under UK company law for the directors of the business to purchase key assets during this final sale. These can be deployed to launch a new enterprise whilst retaining jobs, clients and even the trading premises. McTear Williams & Wood has helped a number of organisations successfully go down this route.
