- voluntary liquidations
A voluntary liquidation or administration is undoubtedly one of the hardest decisions a business can make. Parke Lawyers know that this will not only affect the owners of a business, but it can have lasting effects on your employees, shareholders and creditors.
If the company becomes insolvent, you will appoint an external administrator to handle its financial affairs. In some instances, it can minimise the chance of your business closing down and may result in a better relationship with your creditors.
Corporate insolvency can have many causes; it may happen after directors pass a resolution declaring that the company is insolvent, or it may be enforced by a third party that is entitled to enforce a security interest in terms of the company’s property.
Voluntary administration will end when the creditors resolve that the company should either be wound up or that administration should end. This period will also end when a court appoints a liquidator to the company.
This is when you need the expert legal assistance from Parke Lawyers. We handle the process on your behalf and advise you of all the options and benefits available to you.
