Liquidation of the Company?

Simply put, Liquidation is the process initiated by a company to close its operations. The company may decide to wind up due to various reasons such as unwillingness to continue with the operations, insolvency and so on. As the term suggests, liquidation of a company refers to liquidating the assets of the company. By initiating the liquidation process, the company may sell its assets to meet obligations and repay liabilities. If a company is liquidated due to bankruptcy, the liquidator can sell its assets to repay all pending liabilities. The remaining balance, if any, after repayment to the creditors, gets distributed among the shareholders of the company.

How to Windup a Company?

The winding-up of a company involves a shutdown of all business operations, transactions and selling off all company’s assets to other individuals or entities, to clear off company debts. Once the debts have been cleared off, the remaining assets of the company will be shared among shareholders concerning the capital invested by them The winding-up of the company can be executed in two different ways Compulsory winding up: The compulsory winding up of a company can be executed by the order of a tribunal or a court, bypassing a special resolution made by the directors during the company’s board meeting, which proposes a court intervention. Identically, by filing a petition to a court or a tribunal by any official person of the company, if the company has indulged in any fraudulent/unlawful activities, it can be winded up compulsorily. Voluntarily winding up: The company requires a resolution from the directors, to sell off all assets of the company or to transfer the stakes to another entity.

What are the benefits of winding up a company?

Free from debts after liquidation: Once the liquidation process is over, the directors and all company officials are free from all creditor liabilities and pressure. Avoiding legal action against the company: If the resolution is passed voluntarily by directors, they will neglect legal action taken by the court or the tribunal, and provide a platform to company directors to concentrate on other business opportunities. Comparingly low cost charged for liquidation: The cost or expenses involved in the liquidation process is relatively low, as charges will be applicable on the sale of assets. All lease agreements will be cancelled: If any company or entity has entered into a lease for a prescribed time, during the liquidation process, it will terminate all the terms and conditions of the lease. If any penalty has to be paid, it will be deducted from the sale of assets. Advantages for creditors: After a prolonged struggle, creditors will benefit from the liquidation process as they will be eligible for a default payment, concerning the proposition of credits given by all creditors
