The Reality After Liquidation

Liquidation is Just the Beginning - Not the End

Most directors think liquidation closes the chapter. The truth? It's when you need expert guidance more than ever. From misfeasance claims to personal liability, director disqualification to rebuilding your reputation - the post-liquidation period is fraught with dangers that require extreme down-to-earth advice from specialists who've been there before.

Misfeasance Claims

Liquidators can pursue directors personally for wrongful trading, breach of fiduciary duty, and improper transactions. Even years after liquidation, you're vulnerable to claims that could cost you everything.

Personal asset seizure risk
Defence costs can exceed £50,000
Claims can arise 6+ years later
Protect Yourself

Disqualification Proceedings

The Insolvency Service can ban you from being a director for 2-15 years. Post-liquidation investigations scrutinise every decision you made in the run-up to insolvency.

Personal Guarantees

Company liquidation doesn't erase personal guarantees. Lenders and landlords will pursue you personally - often forcing bankruptcy if you can't pay.

Director Loan Accounts

Overdrawn director loan accounts are a debt you owe to the liquidator. They'll pursue recovery aggressively - and it's often tens of thousands of pounds you must repay immediately.

Preference Payments

Paid certain creditors before liquidation? Paid yourself or family? These can be clawed back as preferential transactions - and you'll need to repay them.

Redundancy & Employment Claims

Former employees can claim redundancy payments, unpaid wages, and notice pay. As a director, you may face personal liability if you failed to meet employment obligations.

Your Ongoing Obligations

Director Responsibilities Don't End at Liquidation

Most directors are shocked to discover their legal obligations continue long after the liquidation order. Cooperation with liquidators, document provision, interview attendance, and ongoing disclosure requirements can last years.

Failure to comply isn't just risky - it's a criminal offence that can result in prosecution, fines, and imprisonment. You need expert guidance to navigate these treacherous waters.

Criminal Prosecution Risk

Failing to cooperate with liquidators or providing false information is a criminal offence under the Insolvency Act 1986. Directors can face up to 7 years imprisonment and unlimited fines.
