Creditors Voluntary Liquidation

Understanding the complexities and challenges of Liquidation, Parker Andrews provides comprehensive assistance through the Creditors' Voluntary Liquidation (CVL) process. A CVL is initiated by a company’s directors to cease trading and liquidate the company, offering an orderly method to close down a company facing insolvency.

What is a Creditors’ Voluntary Liquidation (CVL)?

Unlike involuntary Liquidation, which is often the result of creditor enforcement action, a CVL is a voluntary process initiated by the company’s directors. It allows the business to address its debts and conclude its affairs in a structured manner.

What are the benefits of choosing a CVL?

A CVL provides a controlled and orderly process to wind up a company, ensuring fair treatment of creditors and reducing director liabilities.


How will a CVL affect my role as a director?

Directors lose control of the company once the CVL process begins, but it can protect from personal liabilities associated with the company’s debts.


What should I prepare for the CVL process?

Prepare financial records, including assets and liabilities details, and be ready to discuss your business’s situation in depth.
