Liquidation gives relief from debt, protect your assets, and give you a fresh start.

  1. Liquidation can provide relief from debt for both the company and its directors.
  2. Liquidation writes off the company’s debts.
  3. Liquidation can protect the assets of the company from being seized by creditors. The liquidator takes control of the assets. These assets are either sold or the directors can buy them back.
  4. Creditors must deal with the liquidator and not the directors, so the harrassment stops.
  5. The reputation of the company can be protected. If the company trades while it owes creditors, it can tarnish the good name of the business. It will make it difficult for the company to continue to trade if the creditors are fed-up with it. It is better to restructure soon and keep good relationships with creditors if you need them for your new company.

  8. The directors can keep the staff if they want to. It is possible also keep fully paid assets if they prefer. (The assets can be purchased back from the liquidator).
