The procedure for closing a company could be extremely complicated, long and burdensome. Depending on the circumstances, the process of liquidating a company could take between 7 months and over a year, regardless of whether the company has been in operation or not. A lot of clients find it surprising that registering a company is an easy and quick process, while closing a company is the exact opposite.
But how do you close a company? We can help you by offering assistance through every step of the way. By taking advantage of our services, you can save unnecessary costs, wasted time and a lot of headaches. The process of closing a company starts with the termination of the company’s activities. In the event that the activity is terminated in advance, we proceed to closing the company without any activity. In the event that the company is still operating, the Territorial Directorate of the NRA must be notified of the termination of the activity.
The next step is the announcement of liquidation in the Commercial Register, the invitation of the TR creditors, the notification of the National Insurance Institute and the provision of payment statements. Finally, it’s time for the actual deletion of the company from the Commercial Register. Our specialists can take care of all this for you.
Our experts can handle the successful termination of your company quickly and easily. This process results in the freezing of the company. It is important to note that freezing a company or freezing the company’s activity is not the same as closing a company. Upon termination of activity, the company remains registered in the Commercial Register and the mandatory documentation and various annual tax documentation continue to be a requirement.
During the process of termination of activity, a decision is made regarding the governing body who will terminate the activity of the company. At the same time, a liquidator is appointed. If your company is registered under EOOD, the sole owner of the capital is responsible for the decision. If your company is an OOD, the decision is taken by a supreme body or the general assembly.
Regardless of the size of your company or area of expertise, as it grows, the necessity for accurate and transparent financial records rises with it.
