Members' Voluntary Liquidations ("MVLs")

A Members' Voluntary Liquidation or MVL may be appropriate for a company/LLP when

1. There has been a breakdown in the relationships between the directors/designated members and members
   
   

2. There are changes in its markets, or its place and function in a group structure that result in the company/LLP no longer being viable or required,
   
   

3. The members wish to remove their investment from the company.
   
   

4. The directors/designated members wish to retire.
   
   

It has met the objectives for which it was incorporated

​The Members' Voluntary Liquidation or MVL procedure may only be used for companies/LLPs which are solvent, i.e. where their assets exceed their liabilities. MVLs provide a greater degree of certainty regarding ongoing liability than striking-off and can be a useful tool in the restructuring of companies, their businesses or property.

Why You Might Prefer a Members' Voluntary Liquidation (MVL)
Under Enactment of Extra-Statutory Concessions Order 2012 (ESC Order), capital distributions on dissolution are limited to the first £25,000, with any sums distributed in excess of this limit taxable as income. However, by utilising an MVL, there is no £25,000 capital distribution limit and thus all distributions are treated as a capital receipt.

Why Use Liquidation Direct?
