Expert Answer

The brief answer is no, as soon as a Company enters liquidation trade should cease. Liquidation automatically terminates all contracts the Company has (suppliers, employees etc) and your powers as a Director cease immediately. You have no authority to act on the Company’s behalf.  If you are facing short term cash-flow problems or believe continued trade is the best outcome because you have a viable business i.e. you have longstanding contracts, good relationships and a pipeline of future work, then Administration may be a better option. Administration does not automatically terminate contracts and allows trade to continue with the possibility of the Company being returned to you.
