Liquidating your company is something that many company directors want to avoid. However, if you find that your company is insolvent and your company debts are piling up, then liquidation may be the only solution for you. The decision may seem daunting and challenging, but there are some benefits to liquidating your company that can offer you some relief and peace of mind.

 

Eliminates risk of insolvent trading

 

Insolvent trading is when a company continues to trade knowing that their company is insolvent. It is illegal and should a company director be found guilty of insolvent trading, they risk civil and criminal penalties.

 

As the director, it is your responsibility to take appropriate action when your company is unable to pay its debts as they fall due. By appointing a liquidator on a voluntary basis, you are minimising the risk of insolvent trading and any future claim.

 

Legal action cannot be taken against the company

 

When you liquidate your company, creditors are unable to hassle or pursue you or take any legal action against your company. This gives you breathing space to take a moment and explore your options without the constant harassment from your creditors or the added stress of potential legal action.

 

Peace of mind

 

Gaining a peace of mind is one of the great benefits of liquidation. It lifts the weight off your shoulders and stops creditors and debt collectors from constantly calling you. While it is sad that your company has come to an end, the benefits of liquidating your company means that you have the chance to start over and build a new company, learning from the financial situation of the previous one.
