Insolvency law for businesses in Blackurn

Our legal specialists provide insolvency law services to Blackburn businesses of all sizes and sectors. We can advise on a wide range of formal insolvency procedures, up to and including the liquidation of your business.

Liquidation is the standard procedure used to wind up a company in the UK. This involves selling the company’s assets and properties, with all proceeds being used to pay back the creditors. If the company in question is solvent at the point of liquidation, this cash may be distributed amongst shareholders.

Liquidation proceedings can take several forms:

• A Company Voluntary Arrangement or Members Voluntary Arrangement are similar but distinct processes in which the company’s shareholders decide to wind up the business of their own volition.
• Compulsory Liquidation is a type of liquidation that’s not undertaken on a voluntary basis, but instead initiated by the creditors of a company, normally via a petition to a court. Company directors and shareholders are informed by a notice of intended insolvency proceedings, generally in the form of a Winding Up order or Statutory Demand.

At Farleys Solicitors we always take care to assess your individual circumstances in detail, tailoring our advice to ensure that we recommend the very best course of action for you. This includes advising on the range of insolvency options available to you, in situations where it might be beneficial for you to take proactive voluntary steps towards liquidation. Alternatively, we can examine the most effective avenues to rescue your business.

Equally, we can also provide guidance on how best to respond to Compulsory Liquidation orders, or notices of proceedings. Whatever the specifics of your circumstances, you can trust us to keep your best interests at heart at all times.

We appreciate that managing debts and liabilities can be an extraordinarily stressful experience, but with our customer-focused approach and decades of expertise, we’re here to minimise that stress by making everything as simple and straightforward for you as we can.

We can guide you on how best to approach any ongoing negotiations with creditors, and help you to arrange informal repayment plans, or attain an Individual Voluntary Agreement (IVA). Where relevant, we can also provide detailed advice on bankruptcy, and any likely ramifications that might arise from non-payment.

Our insolvency services in Blackburn also cover possible enforcement actions by creditors, including explanations of how they will affect you. If appropriate, we can assist you in challenging these enforcement actions, in instances where we’re confident your best interests would be served by doing so.
