What Is Liquidation

What Is Liquidation

  • Liquidation typically occurs when a company has reached a point where, for one reason or another, it has been decided that the business cannot continue.
  • In such a case it can be considered liquidating the company. This basically means turning your assets into cash, subject to applicable legislation.
  • Turning assets into cash is generally done to pay off a variety of debts, depending on investments made into the business by creditors, or loans taken in growing the business.
  • Liquidating leads to the dissolution of the company and brings all activity to a close.
  • It is a means for an insolvent business to cover any remaining debts at least to some extent.
  • Solvent companies can also be liquidated.
