Greensill Capital's Australian parent company has entered liquidation after collapsing into administration in March.
According to administrator Grant Thornton, creditors of the firm voted 23 to zero in favour of liquidating the company of the supply chain firm after it failed to find a buyer.
"As of today, the company is now in liquidation,” Mr Thornton added. "The liquidators will continue to identify and realise available assets, monitor developments in relation to the administrations of Greensill UK and the Greensill Bank AG, and continue their investigations in relation to Greensill Capital Pty Limited in liquidation."
Greensill, which was previously advised by former prime minister David Cameron, owed around £3 billion to a number of large lenders including Credit Suisse and Softbank when it collapsed.
After the search for a buyer failed, Mr Thornton has revealed that he will be conducting a more thorough review of Greensill's finances and a probe of its executives as it seeks to repay some of its debts. This process will include identifying some of the company's assets, which will then be sold by the administrator.
The news comes after reports that the firm's collapse has prompted a number of investigations of the company in the UK and Germany.
An exciting opportunity to acquire a well-established independent financial advisor firm with £125m in funds under management in Wiltshire.
Although profitable, this business has quality personnel who can continue working, leading to a smoother transition post sale.
This firm represents a superb opportunity to establish a hub, with staff and offices already in place.
