If you are in serious dispute with a co-director – maybe you have strongly disagreed on a matter of business, for example, or are a divorcing couple - you may want to liquidate the company and move on. When directors are also 50/50 shareholders, however, it can be difficult to find a solution even if there is a shareholder agreement in place. A Members’ Voluntary Liquidation, or MVL, allows a solvent company to close down, with surplus funds being distributed among the shareholders. This can be a good solution for directors who are going through a divorce and who need to separate their business interests, or for friends who feel they cannot continue in business together. But what happens when directors each hold 50% of the shares, and only one wants to liquidate the company? https://lnkd.in/drrE-4YH

A Winding Up Petition is the most serious action a creditor can take against your company. A winding up petition involves asking - or petitioning - the court to compulsorily liquidate your company due to its inability to meet its liabilities and pay its debts as and when they fall due. If a creditor has served you with a Winding Up Petition you should take this action extremely seriously. Failure to deal with the petition will see your company being forced into liquidation and wound up by order of the court. https://lnkd.in/ee-aZZNX

When directors are caught up in the day-to-day running of their company, it is very easy to miss the signs of approaching insolvency. It is perhaps easier to attribute cash flow problems to a temporary blip in your company's finances rather than consider the fact that this could hint at deeper rooted problems. However, the sooner you accept the problems you are facing, the sooner a plan can be put in place to get your business back on a solid financial footing. https://lnkd.in/dGicGYzZ

Once a company reaches turnover of £85,000 in a 12 month period, they must register for VAT, and submit quarterly VAT returns accordingly. VAT returns are submitted electronically, with payment of the VAT owed due on the deadline date for submission. If you cannot pay your VAT on time, you run the risk of financial fines in the short-term, and further legal action against your company in the longer-term if you do not bring your tax position up to date. https://lnkd.in/eBGNDDcu

A phoenix company describes a business that has been purchased out a formal insolvency process such as administration or liquidation, often by the existing directors. The term refers to a phoenix rising from the ashes, but there are strict rules that govern the use of this process. It is not possible for directors of an insolvent company to choose this route without clear evidence that creditor interests will be maximised. This should be the main consideration for any insolvent company - the insolvency practitioner appointed to oversee the administration or liquidation process is obliged to recoup as much money as possible for unsecured creditors. https://lnkd.in/eJhmJxat
