How Simple Liquidation Can Help You in a Creditors’ Voluntary Liquidation (CVL)

When a company is no longer able to pay its debts and financial pressures continue to build, directors often feel overwhelmed by the responsibility of making the right decisions. A Creditors’ Voluntary Liquidation (CVL) is one of the most common and responsible steps a director can take when a company becomes insolvent. It protects creditors, reduces the risk of wrongful trading, and ensures the business is wound down in a legally compliant way. At Simple Liquidation, we specialise in guiding directors through this process with clarity, professionalism, and complete transparency.

Clear, Practical Guidance from Licensed Insolvency Practitioners

Simple Liquidation was designed to provide directors like you with a quick and straightforward route to liquidate a company. Our team is not a broker or intermediary; we are an experienced group of insolvency professionals led by Jamie Playford FABRP MIPA and Alex Dunton MABRP, both licensed to act in the UK by the ICAEW and authorised by the Insolvency Practitioners Association. With more than 30 years’ combined experience, we have helped hundreds of businesses navigate solvent and insolvent liquidations.

In a CVL, making the right decision early is crucial. Delaying action can expose directors to risks such as personal liability or accusations of trading while insolvent. Our team ensures you fully understand your duties and the steps involved, giving you confidence that you are doing the right thing.

A Cost-Effective and Transparent Solution

We understand that directors are highly sensitive to the costs involved in liquidation. High fees can often prevent directors from taking timely action, even when the company is clearly insolvent. Simple Liquidation offers a cost-effective, fixed-fee solution designed to remove financial barriers and allow directors to act quickly and responsibly.


Because we are a direct insolvency service, not a sales company, you benefit from clear communication, no hidden costs, and straightforward advice from the people who will actually be handling your liquidation.

A Smooth, Structured CVL Process

Our approach is designed to minimise stress and administrative burden for directors. During a Creditors’ Voluntary Liquidation, Simple Liquidation will:

  • Assess your company’s financial position and advise whether a CVL is appropriate
  • Prepare all statutory documentation required to place the company into liquidation
  • Communicate with creditors on your behalf
  • Hold the necessary meetings digitally for speed and convenience
  • Realise company assets and distribute funds to creditors fairly
  • Ensure compliance with all legal requirements set out in the Insolvency Act

We manage the process from start to finish, acting as your single point of contact while ensuring creditors are kept informed and treated professionally.

Protecting Directors and Reducing Stress

One of the major benefits of choosing Simple Liquidation is our commitment to reducing the pressure directors face. Insolvency is stressful, but with the right support it becomes manageable. Our team ensures you meet your legal obligations while also protecting your position as a director. We explain everything clearly, without jargon, so you understand what to expect at each stage.

Speak to Us for Professional, No-Obligation Advice

If your company is struggling financially or you believe insolvency may be unavoidable, it is important to seek professional advice as early as possible. At Simple Liquidation, we are always happy to speak with directors and provide no-obligation, confidential guidance on the best course of action.

A Creditors’ Voluntary Liquidation does not have to be complicated. With the right support, you can close your company properly, protect yourself legally, and move forward with confidence.
