Your next steps

The Liquidation process begins with understanding where your company stands. Here's what that looks like:

Assessment

We review the financial distress your company is facing and explain the options, including whether Liquidation suits your position.

Appointment

If you choose to proceed, we prepare the required documents under your company name and ACN, then support you through the appointment process.

Realisation and reporting

The liquidator manages the company's assets, reviews creditor claims and completes the required reporting to ASIC.

Finalisation

Once the company's affairs have been completed, the Liquidation is finalised and the company may then be deregistered.

Insolvency Services Melbourne

Although liquidation is an important option that business owners should keep in mind, it isn't the only option. We will explore all options for your business, which may include the following:

Liquidation

Winding up your insolvent company for good? Liquidation is a formal process that ensures remaining assets are fairly distributed to creditors. Our experts guide you through every step, providing clear advice and support to help you exit with confidence and compliance.

Creditors’ Voluntary Liquidation

In a CVL, our ASIC-registered liquidators manage the formalities - from convening shareholders to placing the company into liquidation - making the process smoother and less stressful at every stage.

Members' Voluntary Liquidation

Eliminate communication hurdles when dissolving a company through MVL. Allow us to assist by conducting a review, liquidating your company and distributing assets to the relevant parties.

Voluntary Administration

Worried your business may not stay afloat? Voluntary Administration gives you the breathing room to restructure, continue trading, and work towards profitability—while ensuring fair distribution to creditors.

Small Business Restructure

FAQs

The main difference is how much choice you have. If a creditor applies to wind up the company under the Corporations Act 2001, the court process determines the timing and liquidator appointment.

Choosing a Creditors' Voluntary Liquidation earlier lets you appoint an ASIC registered liquidator and prepare for the process, including any meeting of creditors.

The Federal Court of Australia or the Supreme Court of Victoria can order a Victorian company to be wound up. This commonly follows a company failing to comply with a statutory demand from a creditor.

If you have received a statutory demand or a winding-up application, our team can explain where the company stands and what the process may mean for you.

In most cases, a State Revenue Office Victoria debt remains a company debt and ranks with other unsecured creditors in the Liquidation. The liquidator distributes available company assets according to statutory priority rules.

A personal guarantee or other personal liability may continue separately after Liquidation and, in some cases, may contribute to bankruptcy if it remains unresolved.
