MVL

MVL Steps

A Members' Voluntary Liquidation, or "MVL", is a legal process whereby a solvent company is wound up and dissolved. The primary objectives are to realise and to distribute the surplus assets of the company once all outstanding matters have been resolved and any remaining creditor claims settled. We have a portfolio of products to suit all types of MVL's, with prices starting from as low as £850.
