A proper winding up of a company you no longer need, from the legal analysis to deletion from the register.Our lawyers map the best approach for your situation and can act as the liquidator for you.
Overview
When a company is no longer needed, it should be closed properly rather than left dormant with filing duties. The procedure differs by country, but in general a liquidator must be appointed, creditors notified and the company’s affairs settled before it is deleted from the register. MAXCORP maps the most suitable solution for your situation.
A legal analysis of the liquidation approach that best suits your company and situation
A liquidator appointed as the law requires, a position our lawyers can take on for you
Creditors notified of the liquidation in the way and within the periods the law sets
Support in negotiations with creditors and business partners while the company winds up
Assets sold and the company’s affairs settled before the final liquidation documents
Final documents prepared and filed until the company is deleted from the register
A company that is simply left inactive still has obligations: annual reports, tax filings and the duties of its board. Missed filings can lead to fines and, in some countries, compulsory deletion. A proper liquidation closes these obligations in a documented way, step by step, with creditors informed as the law requires. The company is closed properly, with complete records and no open filings left behind.

It depends on the country and the company. The law sets periods such as the time creditors have to submit claims; we explain the timeline for your company in the review.
Creditors are notified and their claims are settled as part of the liquidation. If the company cannot pay its debts, a different procedure may apply; we assess this in the review.
