Why liquidate your Company?
Liquidation is the right choice if your company:
Is small (Voluntary Administration is too expensive to save a small company)
Has run out of cash to pay creditors and the ATO
Is trading at a loss, can’t recover from past losses or has ceased to trade
Has no assets, or a small amount of assets
It’s also a good option for a director personally because a liquidation:
- May prevent you from becoming personally liable for the company’s tax debt
- Brings to a close the stress and worry of trying to save the business
- Stops creditors hassling you
- Gives you the opportunity to move on with life

Liquidation is a simple process under the Corporation Act
The law provides a simple process to appoint a liquidator, which is Creditors’ Voluntary Liquidation (“CVL”). It is a simple process that avoids the involvement of lawyers and the courts.
It starts with the directors selecting a liquidator and the shareholders signing a simple resolution to appoint a liquidator.

FAQ
What is company liquidation?
Liquidation is the formal process of winding up a company’s affairs — selling its assets, paying creditors, and ultimately dissolving the company. If all debts can be paid, it’s a Members Voluntary Liquidation (MVL). If not, it’s a Creditors Voluntary Liquidation (CVL). A court can also force the process through a Court Liquidation.
Does liquidation affect a director personally?
Not severely. A company is a separate legal entity, so directors aren’t automatically liable for its debts. Liquidation may leave a mark on a credit report, but it’s not the same as personal bankruptcy. The bigger risk is if the director continued trading while the company was insolvent — that’s where personal liability can come in.
Who gets paid first when a company is liquidated?
Secured creditors go first (typically banks), then liquidation costs, then priority unsecured creditors (employees), and finally general unsecured creditors. In most liquidations, unsecured creditors receive between 0–10% of what they’re owed.
How long does a liquidation take?
A straightforward small company with no assets can wrap up in around six months. Complex cases involving significant assets or misconduct investigations can run for years. Dissolve states their average is 8 months, versus 12 for competitors.
Is liquidation the only option when a company is in financial trouble?
No. Liquidation sits at the far end of what’s called the Restructuring Spectrum. Before going there, options like performance improvement, informal creditor workouts, or Voluntary Administration should be considered. VA is specifically designed to save or sell a viable business, though it’s more expensive. If those options won’t work, liquidation is often the cleanest path.
