Company liquidation services in Switzerland

Company liquidation, often referred to as winding up or dissolution, involves the procedure of shutting down a company and allocating its assets to its creditors and shareholders. This process is usually initiated when a company cannot sustain its operations, whether due to financial troubles, insolvency, or a choice made by the owners of the company.

The main objective of liquidation is to conclude the company’s operations in a systematic way, settle its debts, and distribute any leftover assets to its stakeholders.

Administrative receivership

When there is a default on secured debts, a creditor with a floating charge over a company’s assets has the authority to appoint an administrative receiver to oversee and sell those assets in order to pay off the debt.

Company voluntary arrangement (CVA)

This entails suggesting a formal arrangement with creditors to settle debts over a designated timeframe while permitting the company to keep operating.

Administration

Administration permits a company to reorganize itself in order to avoid insolvency, enabling it to keep operating while being overseen by an administrator.

Director disqualification and company name restrictions

Directors may be subject to disqualification proceedings if they are discovered to have committed wrongful or fraudulent actions that result in the company’s liquidation. Disqualification can prevent them from serving as directors for other companies for a designated time. Additionally, following liquidation, there are limitations on the reuse of the company name; it cannot be used for a new entity unless authorized by the court or a certain period has elapsed.

Our attorneys can assist you with any of the following:

  • Getting ready the paperwork needed to start the liquidation procedure.
  • Removal of the business from the commercial register.
  • Designating a professional liquidator to fulfill your needs.
