A liquidation will allow you to close down your company in an orderly manner. The company usually ceases to trade and powers are granted to the Liquidator to close the company down and take control of the company’s affairs.
The shareholders can place the company into liquidation by passing a special resolution at a shareholders’ meeting. A resolution will also need to be passed to nominate someone to act as the liquidator.
After this, a “decision procedure” is held with the creditors of the company. This is where the creditors decide whether to approve the shareholders’ choice of liquidator.
These will be allocated in an order of priority which is as follows – the cost of the liquidation, secured/preferential creditors, and unsecured creditors.

Your employees will usually be made redundant. They will be able to claim redundancy pay and other entitlements through the National Insurance Fund. Your liquidator will help with the submission of these claims. If you are able to sell your business they may be able to be transferred to whoever purchases the business.
A solvent liquidation or MVL (members voluntary liquidation) is where a solvent company appoints a liquidator to close down their company.
Closing your company in this way allows your assets to be transferred to you through capital distribution where you may be eligible for Business Asset Disposal Relief which was formerly known as Entrepreneurs’ Tax Relief. Here you are taxed at 10% on all company assets which can save you thousands of pounds.
Net Asset Value is the value of what your company owns minus its liabilities.
As long as you have over £25k of net assets to distribute to shareholders an MVL is likely to be the most tax-efficient way to close your business.
Another option available to you is to strike off your company. Via this route Companies House charges £10 but you will pay income tax on your net assets. If you have net assets over £25K after all liabilities have been settled the tax saved via an MVL will usually mean you receive more cash at the end of the process than you would via a strike off.
