What this notice means
A members' voluntary liquidation (MVL) is the solvent, orderly winding-up of a company that can pay its debts in full — usually part of a director's retirement, a group restructure, or closing a company that has served its purpose. It is a planned closure, not a sign of financial distress.

What happens next
Because this is a solvent liquidation, creditors are paid in full. The liquidator advertises for claims, settles them, distributes the surplus to the shareholders and the company is then dissolved. Anyone owed money should still submit their claim to the liquidator named in the notice, and within the period the notice states.
