What Is an Insolvency Practitioner in Glasgow?

An insolvency practitioner is a licensed professional authorised to act on behalf of insolvent companies or individuals in Glasgow.

They handle formal processes like Creditors' Voluntary Liquidation (CVL), administration, Company Voluntary Arrangements (CVA), and receivership in Glasgow.

When Do I Need to Appoint an Insolvency Practitioner in Glasgow?

You need to appoint an IP when your company is insolvent and can no longer pay its debts as they fall due, or when its liabilities exceed its assets in Glasgow.

Early appointment helps prevent wrongful trading and allows you to explore available solutions in Glasgow.

How Do I Appoint an Insolvency Practitioner in Glasgow?

The process typically begins with a free consultation. If liquidation or restructuring is required, you’ll formally engage the IP by signing a letter of engagement in Glasgow.

In a CVL, shareholders pass in Glasgow a resolution to appoint the IP, who is then confirmed by creditors.

What Role Does an IP Play in Company Liquidation in Glasgow?

In liquidation, the IP manages the entire process in Glasgow, from valuing and selling assets to distributing funds to creditors and closing the company.

They also investigate director conduct in Glasgow and ensure compliance with UK insolvency law.

Can I Choose My Own Insolvency Practitioner in Glasgow?

In voluntary procedures in Glasgow, such as a CVL or MVL, directors and shareholders can choose their own IP.

However, in compulsory liquidation, the court appoints the Official Receiver, and creditors must approve any replacement IP in Glasgow.

What Qualifications Must an Insolvency Practitioner Have in Glasgow?

All IPs in the UK must be licensed by a recognised professional body in Glasgow such as ICAEW or IPA.

They must also pass the Joint Insolvency Examination Board (JIEB) exams and maintain ongoing professional standards in Glasgow.

What’s the Difference Between an IP and a Solicitor or Accountant in Glasgow?

An insolvency practitioner is the only professional legally authorised to conduct formal insolvency procedures in Glasgow.

While solicitors and accountants may provide financial or legal advice, they cannot administer liquidations or CVAs unless licensed in Glasgow.

What Documents Do I Need to Appoint an IP in Glasgow?

You’ll need basic company documents in Glasgow, including:

• Recent accounts and balance sheet in Glasgow

• Details of creditors and liabilities in Glasgow

• Employee contracts in Glasgow

• Lease and asset information in Glasgow

We can help gather these during the initial consultation phase in Glasgow.

How Much Does It Cost to Appoint an Insolvency Practitioner in Glasgow?

A Creditors’ Voluntary Liquidation (CVL) in Glasgow costs from around £3,000–£5,000, with fixed-fee options available.

Costs vary depending on the service.

We provide full quotes before any engagement is signed in Glasgow.

Can an IP Help Save My Business in Glasgow?

An IP can assess if your business is viable and help implement a rescue plan such as a CVA or administration instead of closure in Glasgow.

Early intervention offers the best chance of survival in Glasgow.

Can I Appoint an IP for a Solvent Business in Glasgow?

Yes. If you want to close a solvent company, you can appoint an IP to carry out a Members’ Voluntary Liquidation (MVL) and extract retained profits tax efficiently in Glasgow.

Will the IP Report on My Conduct as a Director in Glasgow?

As part of any liquidation in Glasgow, the IP must submit a director conduct report to the Insolvency Service.

This is routine in Glasgow but may lead to disqualification if misconduct or wrongful trading is found.

What If I Delay Appointing an Insolvency Practitioner in Glasgow?

Delaying increases the risk of wrongful trading, creditor action, or personal liability in Glasgow.

Early advice allows more options and reduces legal and financial risks for directors in Glasgow.
