Additional funding

Members voluntary liquidation

An MVL treats any remaining profit in the company as capital instead of income, which, in turn, means the remaining sum is susceptible to capital gains tax. However, the tax liability can be reduced to as little as 10% using entrepreneurs relief, making this option tax efficient.

Strike off or dissolution

This solution allows a company to be struck off or dissolved and involves completing a simple online form along with a small payment to companies house; a due process is then followed, provided no third party raises an objection the company ceases to exist.

Individual voluntary arrangement

Often used for sole traders, this formal arrangement keeps debts at a reasonable level and binds your creditors. IVA’s can take away the guesswork by giving you a defined payment amount and schedule, leaving you to get on with running your business.
