Professional Advice

Before any action is taken by directors or members of a company, it is important to seek professional advice.

This will ensure that the best route of action is taken for the company.

It may be more cost effective not to pursue a members voluntary liquidation but instead, in appropriate cases to either:

  • apply to the court for a "reduction of capital" and release excess cash that way or

  • pay an income dividend or

  • get Inland Revenue sanction for a "capital dividend" followed by the strike off of the company under section 652 of the Companies Act.
