"Voluntary liquidation" refers to the process in which a company or organization decides to close down its operations and sell off its assets. It is not forced by external factors, but a choice made by the company's owners or management. This is usually done when the company is unable to pay off its debts or when it is no longer profitable. The proceeds from selling the assets are used to pay off creditors, and any remaining funds are distributed among the shareholders or owners.
