What liquidation means
Liquidation (winding up) closes a company for good: a licensed liquidator realises its assets and distributes the proceeds to creditors. Most UK liquidations are creditors' voluntary liquidations (CVLs) started by the directors; compulsory liquidations follow a winding-up order from the court, and members' voluntary liquidations (MVLs) close solvent companies.
