Winding Up A Company

In these hard economic times business is very hard. If you are a company director looking for a bit of advice because your Farm equipment business is struggling, you have come to the right place. I have created many articles which try to help a director take the right steps in either closing or liquidating a business or pre-packing a sale and starting again.

Firstly if your Farm equipment company is insolvent you have a duty as a director to close the company and not incur any further debt, unless you can be pretty sure that you can put in place a rescue plan to turn that business around. If you can’t them you need to liquidate the company yourself or take professional advice on how best to close the business in an orderly fashion.

By far the most popular choice is to engage an insolvency practitioner to call a meeting of creditors on your behalf, prepare the statement of affairs, hold the meeting and then deal with all the procedural aspects of liquidation necessary to make sure all creditors now what is going on and how they can participate in any dividend. This is called a CVL or creditors voluntary liquidation.

There is a fee for all this and generally it will be about £5000 whoever you use around the country. There are some advertisements for liquidations at less than this but by the time all costs are accounted for, it will still come in at about the same sum.

These costs can come out of the assets of the Farm equipment company and indeed many businesses do have just enough assets or cash to take this final step. For many businesses, the central core of what the business does is still profitable and so often directors will want to continue to trade. This is easily possible and a sale of assets can be arranged to a new company and a lease re-assigned by a landlord, which often leaves the new company trading on in the same line of work from the same premises.

Farming has been one of the main jobs that people have used over time in order to ensure their survival. Keeping animals for meat and dairy products and growing crops to make bread and to sell; farmers around the world constantly struggle to be self-sufficient in all that they do.
While the popularity of farming has declined in recent years, there is still a great need for it in the modern world. Without farms we would not have the meat that we eat and we would not have milk, cheese or cereals either if farming was to stop completely. However, in order to run a farm there are vital pieces of equipment needed. This equipment is not always cheap but without it, farming simply wouldn’t be possible.
The Equipment Needed to Run a Farm
The main piece of equipment you think about when you think of a farm is a tractor. However, while a tractor is essential to any farmer, there are other pieces of equipment that are often needed, too. Some types of farming equipment needed include:
- Planting equipment

- Soil Cultivation Equipment

- Fertilizers

- Harvesting Equipment
The above are just a selection of the types of equipment which may be needed. With each different type of equipment, there are a number of different pieces of machinery that is needed. It all depends upon the type of farming you do.
If you simply raise animals on your farm then you will not need any harvesting equipment. However, if you also grow crops or if crops are your main source of income then you will need harvesting equipment, as well as fertilizers and pest controllers to keep the crops healthy.
Growing crops can be hard work. You will need a tractor in order to tow the different machinery around. You will then need something such as a manure spreader which will enable you to fertilize the crops. You could not cover a whole field simply by walking around aimlessly with a hand-held spreader. So a big machine such as a manure spreader which attaches to a tractor is what you will need.
As well as a fertilizer, you will also need a soil cultivator machine. This obviously is needed before you use a fertilizer as it helps to prepare the soil for the crop seeds. Then you will need an harvesting piece of equipment in order to cut the crops and take them back to the farm house to prepare them for sale. It really is a lot of hard work and without the right machinery it could take hours and be an impossible task.
Overall, farming equipment is extremely important for anybody looking to run a farm. However, you will need to research the types of equipment that you will need as different types of farming requires different types of machinery. If you are stuck for a good brand of machinery then it would be a good idea to take a look at the John Deere range.
