What is an MVL?

When a company has ceased to trade and is solvent some mechanism has to be available to realise the assets, pay the creditors and return the surplus to the shareholders.

That procedure is known as a Members Voluntary Liquidation.

The MVL procedure is particularly used when there are several interested shareholders and they require the intervention of a practitioner to ensure that the correct amount is distributed to each party.

If there is only one shareholder, however, an alternative approach may be the best and cheapest route to follow.
