Business formation and liquidation
We help address the organisational, legal and tax aspects of starting and winding up a company.
How we can help
- Advice on selecting a legal form and registering a company.
- Preparing to launch a business: business plan, objectives and strategy.
- Organisational matters when winding up a company.
- Legal and tax matters relating to liquidation and fulfilment of obligations.
We agree on the services, timeline and fees based on your company's activities and needs.
When to contact us
- You are planning a new business and want to align its legal form with its objectives and operating model.
- Before launch, you need to organise business matters, the business plan and the preparation sequence.
- The company is considering winding up and wants to understand its accounting, contracts and existing obligations.
What to prepare for the discussion
- The purpose of your enquiry: forming a company or winding it up.
- A description of the planned business or the current position of the existing company.
- For formation: information on the future participants, activities and income and expense model.
- For winding up: a list of active contracts, outstanding debts and accounting issues.
- A list of decisions already made and documents already prepared.
How we approach the task
Establish the starting position
For a new business, we discuss objectives and the organisational model. For an existing business, we discuss the reasons for winding up and unresolved matters. The consultation scope is tailored to that situation.
Review interconnected issues
At launch, we consider the legal form, registration and operational preparation. When winding up, we discuss legal and tax matters alongside the company's existing obligations.
Agree on the preparation sequence
We identify actions and information to clarify before further decisions. Specific documentary support is discussed separately after reviewing the situation and available materials.
What outcomes we agree on
- Explanations of organisational, legal and tax matters at the chosen business stage.
- A list of questions and source data needed for further preparation.
- An agreed understanding of the next step and possible support scope.
Frequently asked questions
Where do I start if I only have a business idea?
Describe the intended activities, participants and revenue model. This allows a focused discussion of the legal form, registration and business plan without prematurely establishing an unsuitable structure.
Can we discuss liquidation if debts and contracts remain?
Yes. Existing obligations must be considered when reviewing the situation. Prepare a list of them and describe the state of the accounting records. Discussing closure does not itself write off debts or terminate contractual obligations.
Does this page describe a ready-made formation or liquidation package?
This page outlines consulting areas. The documents, responsible parties and specific actions are determined after reviewing your situation and agreed separately before work starts.
