Phoenix Companies Following a Compulsory Liquidation

There are rules relating to the setting up of a phoenix company ahead of or just after the compulsory liquidation of the original company. Those rules are similar to those which apply in a creditors voluntary liquidation.

To read the rules on re-using the company name - click here.

To read the rules regarding the acquisition of assets from the failed company - click here.

The main difference between the two types of liquidation procedure is the impact on a sale of assets from the company to be liquidated to the successor phoenix company.

We have considered already the impact of section 127.

There are legitimate ways around that section.
