Your Guide to Liquidation: Trusted Advocates in Corporate Insolvency Cases with Ask Advocates Law Chamber

What is Liquidation?

Liquidation is a legal process that involves winding down the operations of a company that is no longer financially viable. In simpler terms, the company’s assets are sold off, and the proceeds are used to settle outstanding debts owed to creditors. The ultimate goal is to distribute the remaining assets, if any, to shareholders after all debts are paid.

Types of Liquidation

There are two primary types of liquidation:

Voluntary Liquidation: This occurs when the company’s directors or shareholders make the conscious decision to wind down operations. This decision might be driven by factors like financial losses, strategic restructuring, or reaching the end of a business life cycle.
Compulsory Liquidation: This is initiated by a creditor or a court order when the company is unable to repay its debts. Creditors may file a petition with the court to force the company into liquidation if outstanding debts remain unpaid.
