Seychelles Company Dissolution – Closing a Seychelles Company
If you no longer require your company and wish to have it struck off the company register we can assist with a Seychelles Company Dissolution.
The proper procedure for discontinuation of an International Business Company is a voluntary winding-up. It is a fairly straightforward process, which involves preparing and filing a declaration of solvency, producing a statement of assets and liabilities, appointing an administrator, publishing announcements the local media, preparing and filing several resolutions and documents with the Registry.
After a voluntary winding-up is properly completed, there is no more recourse for any creditors against the IBC, neither there is any deferred or potential liability for the directors, shareholders and owners of the IBC.
