CVL_Overview

Creditors Voluntary Liquidation

​A Creditors Voluntary Liquidation (CVL) is a formal insolvency procedure that enables directors of an insolvent company to voluntarily close their business. This process involves liquidating the company's assets to repay creditors, offering a structured approach to manage unmanageable debts and persistent creditor pressures.

Key Benefits of a CVL:

  • Employee Claims: Employees may be eligible to claim unpaid wages, redundancy payments, notice pay, and holiday pay from the government.​

  • Relief from Creditor Pressures: Initiating a CVL can alleviate ongoing demands and actions from creditors.​

  • Legal Action Halted: The process can stop existing legal proceedings related to debts.​

  • Director Eligibility: Directors can continue to serve in other companies without disqualification.​
