Understanding the differences between Liquidation and Administration
Understanding the two types of liquidation
While liquidation and administration are both formal insolvency procedures, they are in fact very different processes which ultimately look to achieve very different outcomes. In simple terms, liquidation brings about the end of a company by selling – or liquidating – its assets before dissolving it entirely. Administration on the other hand, is typically utilised when there is a chance of saving a business which is currently experiencing high levels of financial or operational distress. Let’s explore this further.
Liquidation is employed when a company is beyond rescue, or when its directors no longer want to continue running the company for any number of reasons. There are in fact two different types of liquidation depending on the financial position of the company in question.
