We're here for the long term
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.
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.
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.
Company liquidation doesn't erase personal guarantees. Lenders and landlords will pursue you personally - often forcing bankruptcy if you can't pay.
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.
Paid certain creditors before liquidation? Paid yourself or family? These can be clawed back as preferential transactions - and you'll need to repay them.
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.
Every day without expert guidance increases your personal liability risk. Get the extreme down-to-earth advice you need from specialists who understand the post-liquidation landscape.
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.
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.
Criminal prosecution under Insolvency Act 1986 - up to 7 years imprisonment
