How Quickly Can I Liquidate My Company?

Last updated: April 15, 2021

The quick answer

You can put your company into liquidation within seven days by giving written notice to all known creditors. We would normally do this for you. Shareholders are entitled to a longer period of 14 days notice unless they consent to short notice (they often do). 

In more detail

Liquidate My Company

Although you do need to give shareholders 14 days notice, if 90% of the shareholders agree to short notice then the shareholders meeting can be held sooner. This means that you can liquidate your company in seven days. This is what we usually do to speed the process up and the sooner you do it the sooner it stops creditors from contacting you. 

In practical terms we need to discuss with you your company’s current financial position and make sure that liquidation is the right procedure for you first. This usually takes about a day to gather all of the information unless your circumstances are very complicated. We can have a Zoom, Skype meeting or telephone call with you if you prefer.

We then prepare all of the paperwork for you to sign that will be sent shareholders and creditors. We then send all the liquidation paperwork to creditors and deal with any questions they have. 

Time can also be saved by us emailing you all of the necessary forms we need you to sign. We can send these in Adobe sign so there is no need to print everything and you will be given a copy to keep.

We can do everything to liquidate your company quickly online.

Just a quick email to say a heartfelt thank you for your very calm, considered, expert advice regarding my circumstances on Tuesday. Things looked bleak before you explained my options much more clearly, in simple layman’s terms.

Kirks and their team recently advised me on the Members Voluntary Liquidation (‘MVL’) process. They made it very simple for me to understand the process, they kept me up to date with progress throughout the liquidation and expertly answered any queries I had. All interactions with Kirks were highly professional and it gave me confidence that my liquidation was safe in their hands. They promised a straightforward process and certainly delivered – I highly recommend the team at Kirks to assist with your MVL.
Daniel
Kirks provided a very efficient and cost effective service. They offered support and advice throughout the process and made prompt payments. It was a very professional and helpful service.

We have just had the pleasure of working with Kirks, to complete the closure of my company, everything went smoothly and professionally. I would recommend this company and the staff very very helpful and quickly finalised everything. Thank you Kirks.
Carol Hill
I found you very professional in all my dealings with you. You were knowledgeable and dealt with my case expediently. You answered all my queries on the way in full and everything happened as you said it would in he time frames you outlined in the very beginning. I would have no hesitation in commending you and your company to others

We appointed Kirks to manage the process of an MVL when we had ceased trading and found their service to be very straightforward and thorough. A fixed fee arrangement provided us with reassurance and David explained the process clearly to us at the outset. A very professional service all round

I was very impressed with the speed and efficiency with which Kirks undertook the MVL and their help and assistance in explaining the process and resolving any queries.

Before meeting with Kirks, I had already met with a number of other insolvency practitioners none of whom I considered to be as clear cut and up front as David. The liquidation was executed quickly and professionally and I really am happy that I have done it.
