Liquidation - Creditors' Voluntary Winding Up
Creditors' Voluntary Winding Up in Singapore
A creditor's voluntary winding up is a process where a company ceases its operations and sells its assets to pay off its debts. It's initiated when the directors believe the company cannot continue due to financial difficulties.
Here's a breakdown of the process:
Initiation:
Declaration of Solvency: The directors cannot be confident of paying all debts within 12 months (unlike a members' voluntary winding up).
Creditors' Meeting: Creditors vote on a resolution to wind up the company and appoint a liquidator (someone to oversee the process). Creditors can also propose their preferred liquidator.
Liquidation Process:
Liquidator Takes Over: The appointed liquidator assumes control of the company, gathers assets, and sells them.
Debt Repayment: The liquidator uses the proceeds from selling assets to pay creditors according to a set order of priority (secured creditors are paid first, followed by unsecured creditors, and lastly shareholders).
Company Dissolution: After all debts and expenses are settled, the company is struck off the register and ceases to exist.
