That may be true in the UK (though companies are more likely to go into "administration" there) and in some other countries. However, in the U.S. virtually all types of insolvency are now called "bankruptcy", whether for a person or a company; "liquidation" is just the traditional description of Chapter 7 bankruptcy.
