Checking a Paignton firm before you appoint
Only an individual can hold an insolvency licence, so no firm on this page is licensed in its own right. What each one has is at least one named practitioner whose licence was confirmed on the Insolvency Service's register of insolvency practitioners when it was read on 20 September 2026. Ask which individual would take the appointment, then look that person up yourself. Inclusion in the register is voluntary, so a practitioner missing from it may still hold a licence: ask which recognised professional body authorises them and check with that body. Our national ranking explains the criteria and what a written quote should cover.
Questions about insolvency practitioners in Paignton
How many insolvency practitioners are there near Paignton?
17 licensed insolvency practitioners work at the 11 practices with an office within 50 miles of Paignton, and 0 of those practices are within five miles. A further 1 practices on this page work across the UK from offices in six or more council areas. Counted from the Insolvency Service's register of insolvency practitioners as it stood on 20 September 2026.
Does an insolvency practitioner have to be local to liquidate a Paignton company?
No. The appointment is personal to the practitioner, not to a place, and most of a liquidation is done by post, email and video call. Distance matters for whether you can meet in person, for how easily assets and trading premises can be inspected, and for how well the firm knows local agents and valuers. That is why every distance on this page is shown rather than hidden behind a "serves your area" claim.
How do I check a Paignton firm is really licensed?
Ask for the name of the individual who would take the appointment, not the firm, then look that person up on the Insolvency Service's register of insolvency practitioners at gov.uk. Only an individual can hold an insolvency licence, so a firm is never licensed in its own right. Inclusion in the register is voluntary, so a practitioner may hold a licence without appearing there; if they are missing, ask which recognised professional body authorises them and check with that body directly.
What does it cost to liquidate a company in Paignton?
There is no fixed scale. A creditors' voluntary liquidation of a small company is usually quoted as a fixed fee and is often paid out of what the company's remaining assets realise rather than by the director personally. Ask each firm for a written quote that states what is included, what is charged separately as a disbursement, and what happens if the assets do not cover the fee.
