Companies
When a company goes into compulsory liquidation, the Insolvency Service’s official receivers are responsible for the administration and investigation of the case.
Our company investigation teams may also investigate following other formal insolvency proceedings, where we receive information that suggests that a director’s conduct in a company (considered either alone or along with their conduct as a director of another company) makes that director unfit to be concerned in a company’s management.
In cases where we have received information to suggest corporate abuse, the Insolvency Service’s company investigation teams also have the power to conduct confidential investigations into limited companies and limited liability partnerships which are actively trading, or which have ceased trading without entering into insolvency proceedings.
