What Is an Insolvency Practitioner in Hampshire?

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

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

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

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 Hampshire.

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

How Do I Appoint an Insolvency Practitioner in Hampshire?

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 Hampshire.

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

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

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

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

Can I Choose My Own Insolvency Practitioner in Hampshire?

In voluntary procedures in Hampshire, 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 Hampshire.

What Qualifications Must an Insolvency Practitioner Have in Hampshire?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  • Recent accounts and balance sheet in Hampshire

  • Details of creditors and liabilities in Hampshire

  • Employee contracts in Hampshire

  • Lease and asset information in Hampshire

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

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

A Creditors’ Voluntary Liquidation (CVL) in Hampshire 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 Hampshire.

Can an IP Help Save My Business in Hampshire?

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 Hampshire.

Early intervention offers the best chance of survival in Hampshire.

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

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 Hampshire.

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

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

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

What If I Delay Appointing an Insolvency Practitioner in Hampshire?

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

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