expert advice and support at hand
Are you looking to liquidate your company?
If your business is suffering distress then you may wish to use a creditors’ voluntary liquidation (also known as ‘CVL’) to shut down your business and effectively end trading.
Unlike compulsory liquidations, a CVL is initiated by company directors giving more control over the closing down process.
It may be the case that your company is technically insolvent or you can no longer afford to meet the terms of credit repayment agreements.
A creditors’ voluntary liquidation effectively ends your responsibilities and uses the company’s remaining assets to pay off your creditors. The assets are sold to the highest bidder – and that could be you.
Part of our established process of implementing a creditors’ voluntary liquidation is helping you explore the options to recover your business.
Selling to a connected party
Directors are legally permitted to buy back their business and assets in a creditors’ voluntary liquidation.
We are able to provide you with advice and support on how to purchase your business after a CVL and start trading again.
If you are looking to liquidate your company call us today.
At McTear Williams & Wood our expertise in business turnaround could still help you recover your business if you act quickly.
