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.
Frequently asked questions
- How do I find out if a Scotland company is in liquidation?
- Search the company by name or number from the home page. Its page lists every recorded procedure with dates and the practitioner, plus links to the Gazette notice and Companies House record.
- Why is a company I know is based in Scotland missing?
- Companies are grouped by the postcode of their registered office, which is often an accountant's or formation agent's address rather than the trading address. Try the search box — the company page itself is the same wherever it is registered.
- Can I see Scotland companies in other procedures?
- Yes — the Scotland overview lists every procedure together, and the chips above switch between liquidations, administrations and CVAs.
