The steps to close a business depend on its legal form. For a sole establishment, we usually start by cancelling the work permits and residencies linked to the licence, then apply to cancel the licence. A company needs liquidation: a partners' resolution, appointing a liquidator, publishing the liquidation notice, the end of the claims period, then the cancellations. We review your case first, then prepare, submit and follow up the applications. The authority makes the final decision.
