Winding Up & Dissolution Services

Simplifying Closure with Professional Expertise

Closing a company is just as important as starting one – and it must be done the right way. Whether your business has achieved its objectives, become dormant, or is no longer viable, our Winding Up & Dissolution Services ensure a smooth, compliant, and hassle-free closure. As experienced Company Secretaries, we provide end-to-end support so you can exit your business legally and confidently.

What is Winding Up & Dissolution?

Winding up is the legal process of closing a company by liquidating its assets, settling liabilities, and distributing the remaining funds among stakeholders. Once all formalities are completed, the company is dissolved, meaning it ceases to exist in the eyes of law.

This process is crucial to avoid future liabilities, penalties, or legal complications with ROC, GST, or Income Tax departments.

🛠 Types of Winding Up
