Dissolution of Companies

The life cycle of a company is often limited. Sometimes unforeseen circumstances arise, like a failed M&A deal or the sale of a real estate portfolio. Sometimes a planned completion of a Management Equity Program (MEP) or a simplification of a corporate structure may lead to the dissolution of companies.

Wind down your company with Greenfields

Whatever the reason, Greenfields’ experienced team guides you through the bureaucratic landscape as quickly as possible. Liquidations in Germany include a waiting year (“Sperrjahr”) and various resolutions, statements and public register applications. Hence, we offer a comprehensive suite of liquidation services that simplify the challenges.

Liquidation as a Service

The liquidation process starts with a shareholder resolution and takes one year. During this time, the company requires a liquidator who is personally liable to the shareholders and potential creditors.

In addition to other services, Greenfields can provide a liquidator to your company. Our liquidators will execute all necessary and pre-approved liquidation documents as well as the final accounts. They would additionally coordinate the entire liquidation process in order to ease the challenging process.​

Greenfields’ one-stop-shop for liquidations

We can guide you through the dissolution proceedings from opening the liquidation to the deletion from the Commercial Register, so that the closing of the company will be carried out in a proper manner.

In addition to providing the business address, corporate housekeeping and liquidation services, our team of ta advisers can oversee the financial side of the operation and prepare the financial statements, liquidation balances and tax returns.
