Check closure readiness before applying

Illustrative situation

A company that stopped trading may still have bank balances, liabilities or pending filings. Inactivity alone does not settle these.

This is an example, not a client testimonial or promised outcome.

Checks that prevent avoidable rework

  • Reconcile assets and liabilities.
  • Identify pending filings and proceedings.
  • Review eligibility for the closure route.

What happens next?

Track communications until the relevant order or status is issued and preserve required records.

Agree the scope before work begins

Ask for a written quote identifying the entity, period or application covered; the documents you must provide; and the records you will receive. Confirm whether corrections, responses to notices and later filings are included or quoted separately.

Separate professional charges from government fees, taxes and third-party costs. Application acceptance, loan sanction, certification and other external decisions remain with the relevant authority or institution.
