DEFINITION

Liquidation – Systematic Winding Up of Insolvent Entities

 

Liquidation is a formal financial process that involves the orderly dissolution of an insolvent company or business entity. Typically guided by an appointed administrator, this procedure entails ceasing all business operations, selling off assets, and distributing the proceeds among creditors and shareholders.

 

Liquidation serves as a crucial mechanism for resolving the affairs of a company that can no longer meet its financial obligations. It ensures an equitable and transparent allocation of the available assets to repay creditors and, if possible, distribute any remaining funds to shareholders.

 

Understanding the intricacies of the liquidation process is vital for stakeholders, including creditors, shareholders, and company directors, as it offers a structured and legally compliant method of addressing financial distress and insolvency.
