Provisional Liquidation

Provisional liquidation is the process between the presentation of a winding up petition and prior to the making of a winding up order against a company. This process allows for an emergency measure to protect the assets of a company being faced with a winding up petition if there is a concern that the company’s assets will be dissipated prior to the making of a winding up order.


Who can apply for provisional liquidation?

We can help creditors, companies and liquidators through provisional liquidation. Whomever makes an application, with or without notice, must seek legal advice for grounds for applying, which generally includes the risks posed if a company was to go insolvent.

In the most common cases, a provisional liquidation will be settled by;

  • A winding up order against the company, granted by the court
  • Discharging the provisional liquidator from their duties
  • The petition for winding up being dismissed by the court
