CORPORATE DISSOLUTION

When corporate ownership is of the determination that the company is no longer, whether because its assets have been sold, the intention is to simply cease operations or for alternate reasons, the prudent strategy tends to be undertake the dissolution of the company. By dissolving the company, the company's ownership, together with its officers and directors, seek to realize a conclusive end to the company's existence and the responsibilities that it owes.

 For where a corporate dissolution is not undertaken in conformity with legal requirements, financial liability and legal exposure will in all likelihood persist at far greater level, whether it is by way of tax authorities (i.e., Canada Revenue Agency), business creditors and others. This does not mean that a range of other liabilities do not persist, as it relates to other contractual and legal obligations for occurrences and injuries that are yet to arise, among other potential aspects, but it does close the door on many identifiable and determinable aspects, such that the company's owners, directors and officers are capable of moving forward appropriately following the corporate dissolution.

At Neufeld Legal P.C., we understand the importance associated with dissolving companies and the procedural requirements, as well as the extent that corporate dissolution has on clearing out the corporate ledger while other corporate liabilities and responsibilities persist well after the dissolution has become official. The process and its effect are not altogether straight-forward, such that we look to work with corporate ownership and management to properly understand and effect their corporate dissolution.
