Liquidation

Liquidation

Liquidation means a limited company is wound up and dissolved.

What is liquidation?

Liquidation means a limited company is wound up: assets are sold, debts are paid and what remains is distributed to the shareholders. The company is then dissolved.

 

Voluntary or compulsory liquidation

Liquidation can be voluntary (decided by the general meeting) or compulsory, for example if the share capital is depleted. Until dissolution, the share ledger must be kept up to date.
