Creditors’ Voluntary Liquidation is a formal insolvency procedure available to insolvent limited companies. If your company has entered insolvency you need to protect the interests of your creditors, and CVL allows you to meet these obligations.
By voluntarily placing your company into liquidation, as opposed to waiting for a creditor to make a winding up petition at court, you prevent further creditor losses and adhere to the stringent requirements under insolvency law.

Part of the liquidator’s role is to investigate how the company failed, and uncover any specific reasons why it had to enter insolvent liquidation. They’ll look for instances of wrongdoing or misconduct that could have led to the company’s demise. Having entered liquidation voluntarily, however, you’ve clearly placed the interests of your creditors first and so are unlikely to face allegations of wrongful trading.
In addition to gaining more control over the liquidation process, entering CVL could also enable you to claim director redundancy pay. For more information and advice on Creditors’ Voluntary Liquidation, please contact our team at Real Business Rescue to arrange a free, same-day consultation.
