Closing a Limited Company
We'll explain the details and recommend the right approach
Creditors Voluntary Liquidation
A Creditors’ Voluntary Liquidation (CVL) is the insolvency process where a company’s directors or owners voluntarily wind up the business because it can no longer pay its debts.
A CVL allows directors to take control of the process and appoint an insolvency practitioner of their choice.
Members Voluntary Liquidation
A Members’ Voluntary Liquidation (MVL) is used to close a solvent company. It is initiated when a company can pay all its debts but the shareholders choose to close it.
An MVL is often tax‑efficient, as distributions may qualify for Business Asset Disposal Relief.
Compulsory Liquidation
A Winding‑Up Petition can lead to a Winding Up Order, forcing a company into Compulsory Liquidation .
Dissolution
If your company is solvent with assets under £25,000, Company Dissolution is usually suitable and inexpensive.
Directors Redundancy Payments
Outstanding wages and redundancy may be payable by the National Insurance Fund. See the Directors Redundancy Calculator .

Are Directors Personally Liable for Company Debts?
Limited company directors often worry about personal liability for business debts. Fortunately, UK law offers strong protection through the principle of limited liability.
Investigating Directors of Dissolved Companies

How to Strike Off or Dissolve a Limited Company
