Insolvency law for businesses in Preston

Farleys Solicitors provides insolvency law services to Preston business of all sizes – from SMEs to larger corporations, and across any sector. We can provide in-depth assistance and guidance on the full range of formal insolvency issues, up to and including the liquidation of your business.

Liquidation is the standard procedure used to wind up a company in the UK. As part of this procedure, the company’s assets and properties are sold, and the proceeds used to pay back the creditors. If the company is still technically solvent at the time of liquidation, the cash generated may be distributed amongst shareholders.

Liquidation proceedings can take several forms:

A Company Voluntary Arrangement and a Members Voluntary Agreement are two similar but separate types of liquidation proceedings, in which the company’s shareholders decide to wind up the business of their own volition.

Compulsory Liquidation is a type of liquidation that is not instigated on a voluntary basis, but is instead ordered by a court, normally because of a successful petition by a creditor. Company directors and shareholders are informed through a formal notice of intended insolvency proceedings, typically via a Winding Up order or Statutory Demand.

At Farleys Solicitors, we know that each situation is different, so we always take care to assess your individual circumstances in detail, so that we can tailor our advice towards achieving the most desirable outcome for you. This includes advising you on the range of insolvency options available to you, if we deem it beneficial for you to take proactive voluntary steps towards liquidation. Alternatively, we can work closely with you to formulate the best strategy to rescue your business.

If your company has been the recipient of a Statutory Demand, a Winding Up order or a Letter Before Claim, we can provide helpful guidance on the best way to respond, and the implications of each option. Whatever the specifics of your circumstances, you can always trust our solicitors to be efficient and proactive, and to always act in your best interests.

We can provide assistance in negotiations with your creditors, and explore the most successful avenues of resolution with you – which may include an informal repayment plan, or the arrangement of an individual Voluntary Agreement (IVA).
