Company Closure
Descriptions
This service allows investors to go through the proper steps required to close any existing commercial establishment associated with them. For the companies, the investor may close the whole company with all of its related main commercial registration (CR) and implicitly all of the related branch CRs or select a subset of the branch CRs to be closed only. Also, the service facilitates the liquation process that is mandatory for the establishment of a company legal structure. Lastly, it enables closing a commercial permit either explicitly on its own or implicitly if the related CR will be closed.
