Company liquidation is the legal process of shutting down a business. It involves selling off assets, paying off liabilities, and canceling the business license. It’s not just about closing doors — it’s about settling the business’s records officially with the authorities. There are two main types of liquidation: voluntary (initiated by the owners) and compulsory (ordered by a court).

Why Professional Help is Important

Liquidation involves many steps and government approvals. Without expert support, owners may miss legal procedures or face fines. Professionals take care of:

• Drafting board resolutions
  
  

• Preparing financial statements
  
  

• Cancelling visas and employee contracts
  
  

• Settling utility bills and lease agreements
  
  

• Coordinating with relevant government departments
  
  

This allows business owners to avoid stress and focus on what’s next.

Steps Involved in Company Liquidation

1. Board Resolution – A formal decision from the partners or shareholders is made to close the business.
   
   

2. Appointment of Liquidator – A certified liquidator is appointed to oversee the process.
   
   

3. Notification to Authorities – The liquidation notice is published and shared with relevant authorities.
   
   

4. Clearance Process – The company must clear all dues including employee settlements, taxes, utility bills, and lease agreements.
   
   

5. Final Audit and Report – The liquidator prepares a report confirming all obligations are met.
   
   

6. License Cancellation – Once all formalities are done, the business license is officially cancelled.
   
   

Challenges Faced by Businesses

Many companies struggle during liquidation because of a lack of information or missed deadlines. Issues like unpaid dues, expired documents, or incomplete staff termination can delay the process. That’s why it’s recommended to work with experienced consultants who understand local rules and handle everything step-by-step.

• Companies that are closing due to losses

No matter the reason, closing the business properly saves time, money, and avoids legal trouble later.
