The liquidation of a limited liability company (LLC) or a corporation (SA) occurs when a business voluntarily decides to cease its activities. This process is strictly regulated by the Swiss Code of Obligations and requires adherence to several formal, accounting, and legal steps.
Hevea Invest supports you throughout the entire liquidation process, ensuring legal compliance, transparency with creditors, and the security of partners or shareholders.
Early liquidation (voluntary dissolution without significant liabilities)
Liquidation with over-indebtedness (according to art. 725 CO, with court intervention)
Transformation into cessation of activity without immediate deregistration (dormancy)
The liquidation of a company requires diligence and compliance. Professional support ensures a clear and error-free process, up to the dissolution.
The minimum legal period is 3 months after publication in the FOSC. In practice, the procedure takes an average of 6 to 12 months, depending on the complexity of the liquidation operations.
