Closure of Business

Overview of Closure of Business

Often, we register a company for a business idea we wanted to implement and for some reasons it does not work, we do not even start the work. Also, there are times when we register a company for a future project and hence those companies are not operational in present. There are various compliances which one needs to meet after registering a company and it takes a cost to meet them. Who would want to bear more cost for the company which is not working in the first place?

So, what do we do, we just keep the company like that, either we get the compliances done or many times we just ignore it. Earlier, closing a company was a tedious process, which required a lot of formalities, things have changed now and there are now quicker modes to close the company.
