The Process Of Business Closure
When it comes to closing a limited company, there is a specific process to follow according to the Insolvency Act 1986. Whether it’s a Members Voluntary Liquidation, a Creditors Voluntary Liquidation or a Compulsory Liquidation – i.e. a creditor has applied to the court to force your business into liquidation – our IPs are there to advise you at every stage of the process. Other terms used to close businesses are Company Dissolution or dissolving a company.
Once the decision has been made and at least 75% of the voting shareholders are in agreement that liquidation is the best option, our IPs will explain how to close a limited company, the steps that have to be completed, such as meetings with creditors and the sale of company assets. They will also liaise with your employees and assist them in claiming redundancy, if applicable, as well as distribute the monies realised from the sale of any assets, or any in specie distribution.
Your Accounts & HMRC
They will explain the process of how to close a limited company that is solvent through a Members Voluntary Liquidation, working with you to ensure your accounts are up-to-date and a final statement is drawn up for HMRC. In addition, they can explain the tax implications as far as settling the company’s PAYE, NIC, VAT and Corporation Tax obligations, and make final payment to any creditors after the liquidation process has started.
