The main difference between a Members’ Voluntary Liquidation (MVL), a Creditors’ Voluntary Liquidation (CVL) and a High Court Liquidation is that, in an MVL, the company is solvent. When all liabilities have been paid, the remaining surplus is then distributed to the owners.
Kroll team members have conducted a wide variety of MVLs across sectors including:
MVLs are often used where companies are no longer needed for trading purposes. Owners may also want to liquidate the company in order to move property or other assets from the company to personal ownership.
In MVLs, it is essential for the directors and shareholders to consider the full taxation implications. Our extensive experience in this area ensures that clients benefit from the most tax-efficient way of transferring assets from a company.
Our services also include:
Kroll professionals have dealt with a number of complex MVLs, involving issues such as:
Examinerships and the examinership process can be very effective in certain circumstances in providing a chance for a company to survive. But when a business goes into examinership it can cause significant challenges, disruption and stress for all concerned – creditors, staff, directors, shareholders, financial institutions and state agencies.
At Kroll, our focus is on meeting these challenges by managing the process professionally, efficiently and effectively.
Our team is skilled and experienced in examinerships and administrations, and have facilitated the restructuring of many businesses through the examinership process. Our experience, knowledge and project management skills are particularly relevant to all the parties involved, as the court process can be complex and time-consuming.
The examinership process can be very effective in certain circumstances in providing a chance for a company to survive. The process involves seeking High Court protection from creditors for a limited period, while an independent court-appointed examiner considers the options for a survival package.
The examiner’s approach is ratified by the court, so it is more likely to be successful than making voluntary arrangements with creditors. By contrast, voluntary arrangements often break down because some of the parties involved will not agree to write off part of their debt.
Kroll is experienced in this area, meaning we can quickly focus on the relevant issues, and advise the company and all other relevant parties about the process and the compliance requirements.
In addition to accepting appointments as an examiner, we also provide an examinership advisory and support service. This can be of particular benefit to creditors, banks, legal advisers or anyone affected by an examinership and who wants independent advice and support on protecting their interests.
Kroll, in association with the Restaurants Association of Ireland, recently concluded a survey on the 2023 business sentiment for Ireland’s hospitality sector.

Examinerships are a key option for businesses that are under pressure due to their overall liabilities, whether to banks, the Revenue Commissioners or general creditors. They allow the company to explore all possibilities for survival.
In an ideal scenario, businesses can reorganize themselves through voluntary agreements and re-negotiations with creditors. When this is not possible, schemes of arrangements can be used as an independent process to maintain business and continue trading.
