The advice I received from my accountant last year was that it would cost about 15,000 to liquidate! The easiest option at the time was to voluntarily
liquidate the company, but all your debts have to be paid to do this. Luckily we got through it and are still trading, but there has to be an easier way to wind up small businesses in Ireland, particularly during the current climate,
Information on this in general is very poor, with varying info available from accountants. It is much more straight forward, clearer less expensive to wind up a company / business in U.K. This is an issue that urgently needs to be updated and addressed.
