Insolvency law for businesses in Manchester

Our legal specialists provide insolvency law services to Manchester businesses of all sizes and sectors, ranging from SMEs to larger corporations and even international enterprises. Drawing upon our decades of expertise, we can advise on a comprehensive array of formal insolvency procedures, up to and including the liquidation of your business.

In business and accounting, liquidation is the process used to formally bring a company to an end here in the UK. If the company has any remaining assets or properties, these will be sold as part of the process, with all proceeds used to reimburse the company’s creditors. If the company is still solvent at the point of liquidation, the generated cash may be distributed amongst its shareholders.

Liquidation proceedings can take several forms:

• In cases where company’s shareholders decide to wind up the business of their own volition, they may decide to do so with a Company Voluntary Arrangement or a Members Voluntary Arrangement, which are similar but distinct processes.
• If the liquidation has been ordered by a court – normally as the result of petitioning by a creditor – it becomes a Compulsory Liquidation. The directors and shareholders of the business are formally notified in writing of the initiation of these proceedings, typically by a Winding Up order or a Statutory Demand.

At Farleys Solicitors, we always tailor our approach to suit your individual circumstances, assessing your needs and helping you work towards the most desirable outcome for you. In situations where we deem it might be beneficial for you to take proactive voluntary steps towards liquidation, we will be clear about the reasons why, and can advise on the range of insolvency options available to you. Alternatively, if you’d prefer, we can use our expertise to help formulate a turnaround strategy which has the best chance of rescuing your business.

If your company has received an official notification of formal proceedings, such as a Statutory Demand or a Winding Up order that signifies the onset of a Compulsory Liquidation order, we can assist you in working out the best way to respond. Whatever the specifics of your circumstances, you can trust us to ensure we’re always acting with your best interests at heart.
