The engagement / 01

Understand the starting position

Voluntary closure, a possible sale and potential insolvency are different situations. Qualified professionals must clarify the legal framework before actions are planned.

Make obligations visible

Contracts, receivables, liabilities and recurring costs are assembled. The list provides a working basis for the responsible advisers.

Recognise urgency

Upcoming payments, disputed claims and missing documents are flagged. Possible statutory duties require immediate professional clarification.

The engagement / 02

Prepare the operating closure

Once the professionally assessed route is clear, many individual tasks need to fit together. We support an organised approach to commercial work and communication.

Customers and suppliers

Outstanding deliveries, returns and contacts are recorded. Statements to counterparties are coordinated with the responsible professional advisers.

Assets and access

Equipment, records and digital accounts receive an inventory. Actions concerning them are planned only once authority and responsibility have been clarified.

The engagement / 03

Preserve the records responsibly

Information continues to matter after operations end. We help prepare an organised handover to the responsible people and providers.

Storage and retention

Records are collected in an accessible structure. The appropriate professionals determine the retention and information duties that apply.

Track outstanding work

A closing register documents completed steps, remaining tasks and responsible contacts. Unresolved matters do not disappear on the last working day.

Q / AKnow where you stand.

Questions about our work.

01Are liquidation and insolvency the same?

No. Conditions, procedures and duties differ. Qualified legal and tax advisers must assess the circumstances and permissible route individually.

02Can selling a company simply remove existing duties?

That should not be assumed. Obligations and possible personal responsibilities require separate legal assessment before decisions or transfers take place.
