The Liquidation Process

Planning and preparing for liquidation is a vital part of the process of re-launching your business free of debt.​

The liquidator is an authorised Insolvency Practitioner or official receiver who runs the liquidation process. As soon as the liquidator is appointed, they will take control of the business.

Their prime responsibility is to look after the creditors of the company and maximise cash by selling off the company’s assets. Recovery of funds can also include directors who have omitted to adhere to their obligations, even by oversight or innocently.

This can be illegal dividend payments, sale of assets, wrongful trading and a host of other mistakes.
