Liquidation of enterprise on decision of owner (in the general order)

---

How the work goes

1. Diagnostics: from documents and public registers we identify debts, audit risks and the realistic route — liquidation, sale of the shares or bankruptcy.
2. Members’ resolution and written notice to the registrar within three business days; from then on the commission manages the company.
3. Creditor claims period (2–6 months): we review every claim, answer each creditor within 30 days and collect receivables.
4. Unscheduled documentary tax audit and reporting for the last reporting period.
5. Interim liquidation balance sheet, settlement with creditors, final liquidation balance sheet filed with the tax authority.
6. Archive and termination: the application and the archive certificate; the registrar reviews them within 24 hours, excluding weekends and holidays.

What you receive

• A termination record in the Unified State Register; from that day the company has ceased to exist.
• Approved interim and final liquidation balance sheets and commission decisions on every creditor claim.
• An archive certificate confirming the documents were accepted for storage.
• Removal from tax and social fund records based on the State Register data.
• A file of liquidation documents for any questions after closure.

Typical situations

Where things usually go wrong

• The resolution lacks the required majority: for an LLC it is three quarters of the votes of all members entitled to vote, unless the charter says otherwise.
• The registrar is not notified within three business days, or the resolution omits the commission and the creditor deadline, so the documents come back.
• Termination documents are filed before the creditor claims period has ended.
• The account used for paying creditors is closed together with the others.
• The tax audit starts and the primary documents are missing, so it drags on and may end with extra assessments.
• A creditor whose claim was rejected has one month to sue the commission; an unfounded rejection turns into a court dispute and a delay.

Why hand this to a team under contract

Liquidation takes months and involves the registrar, the tax authority, the bank, the archive and creditors. A defective resolution, a missed debt or open enforcement proceedings mean a refusal and another round. A lawyer under contract runs every stage, checks in advance what blocks registration and is responsible for the commission’s documents.

Price

The price depends on the type of entity, the state of the accounts, debts, number of employees, bank accounts and branches. A lawyer quotes it after checking the registers and fixes it in the contract.

What clients usually need next

• Liquidation of an LLC in Ukraine — a separate page on closing a limited liability company.
• Sale of corporate rights — when the company should continue with a new owner instead of being liquidated.
• Restoring accounting records — when reporting was irregular and the audit will need documents.
• Bankruptcy trustee services — when assets do not cover the debts.
• Company rescue (sanation) — when the business can still be saved.
