When can a company be liquidated?

• Only a company that is not over-indebted can be liquidated.
• An over-indebted company must file an application for insolvency and in doing so initiate insolvency procedure.
• It is mainly companies that no longer have any use (their business activity has come to an end) that are liquidated.
• The main purpose of dissolving a company (liquidating a business corporation) is to clarify the property relationships of the company and settle property relationships, leading to the company ceasing to exist and being erased from the Commercial Register.
• By going into liquidation, the active commercial activity of the company comes to an end and all action is solely directed at settling the assets and liabilities of the liquidated company, and its subsequent dissolution and extinction.
• Before we move ahead with the actual liquidation process, we first consider whether you company might be used in another way, which would save you money.
