Questions
What is the difference between CVL and MVL?
CVL applies to insolvent companies needing liquidation, while MVL is for solvent companies seeking tax-efficient asset extraction. We help determine the appropriate procedure based on your financial position.
How much does an IVA cost?
IVA costs vary based on case complexity. We provide transparent fee structures during initial consultations, including nominee and supervisor fees required by insolvency regulations.
Can we continue trading during administration?
Administration allows continued trading while protecting assets. We work with directors to maintain business operations during restructuring or preparation for sale.
What happens if a company receives a winding-up petition?
Immediate action is required. We provide urgent advice to challenge or manage compulsory liquidation proceedings, including validation order applications to protect business assets.
Do you offer free initial consultations?
Yes, we provide free, no-obligation consultations to assess your situation and explain available options for resolving financial difficulties.
How long does a CVL process take?
CVL can be completed within two weeks for straightforward cases. Complex matters involving asset realisation or investigations may take longer, depending on specific circumstances.
