Frequently asked questions
Can I liquidate without travelling?
Yes, by power of attorney. The founder signs the liquidation resolution before a notary in their country; we handle the rest.
What if the company has tax debts?
Debts must be settled before removal from the register. We first reconcile with the Tax Service to avoid surprises at the audit and advise how to minimise penalties.
Can I just abandon the company?
No: an abandoned company keeps accruing minimum taxes and penalties for unfiled reports, and the director and founder remain liable. Closing it properly is the right way.
How long does liquidation take?
In our practice 7–12 months, depending on the company's turnover: at least 60 days for creditors, then the tax audit and removal from the register.
