Winding-up
|
|
Winding-upThe process by which a company dies. There are three separate procedures - a members voluntary winding up where a company is solvent, a creditors voluntary winding up for insolvent companies and a compulsory winding up by the court. Once the process starts the company is administered by a liquidator who disposes of all assets, and distributes the remainder to members or creditors. When the process is complete, the company is struck off the Companies Register and ceases to exist.
