Types and Rules for Liquidation


Canadian liquidation
Liquidation is the process by which a company is brought to end and the assets and property of the company are sold. Another term used for liquidation is winding-up of the company. It can be said at the end of the life of a company.  A liquidator is appointed to take control of the company and collects its assets and pays its debts. When a company is liquidated it is brought to an end, stops trading and ceases to exist. Any assets and property of the company are redistributed to creditors.
There are three Modes of winding up of a company, which are:

  • Member`s  voluntary winding up
  • Winding up subject to supervision of court.
  • Creditor`s voluntary winding up
  • Compulsory liquidation
In Member`s voluntary liquidation the company`s director state that the company will be able to pay its debts within 12 month from the start of liquidation and the declaration will include a statement of company`s assets and properties.  Creditor`s voluntary liquidation process start when the owner of the company state that company can`t continue in business because of liability. The directors of the company should prepare a statement of all the topics which are going to be consider at the meeting. In compulsory liquidation the court makes a winding up order on the petition of an appropriate creditor or company.
