creditors' voluntary liquidation definition

creditors' voluntary liquidation

Sale of the assets of an insolvent firm by its stockholders (shareholders), without a statutory declaration of solvency and without involving any court procedure. Although it is initiated when the shareholders adopt a resolution for voluntary winding up of the business, it is the unsecured creditors who have the right to appoint the liquidator. See also members' voluntary liquidation.
