Liquidation cost calculator
The cost of liquidating a company is one of the things insolvency firms are least transparent about up front, which leaves worried directors guessing. In reality a straightforward Creditors Voluntary Liquidation usually costs from around four to seven thousand pounds plus VAT, with larger or more complex cases costing more because there is more work in dealing with employees, creditors, assets and investigations. The fee is normally met from selling the company\'s assets, and where there are not enough assets a practitioner will explain openly how it can be funded. This tool gives you a realistic range based on the size and complexity of your company, so you can have an informed conversation rather than being quoted a number with no context. Always ask for a fixed, written quote with a clear scope before you instruct anyone.
