Why is a Professional Company Closure Crucial?
Simply abandoning an inactive company can lead to serious consequences. A professional closure process ensures:
- Elimination of Liabilities: It provides a clean break from all legal and financial obligations, including annual compliance filings with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA).
- Avoidance of Penalties: Failure to follow the correct closure procedure can result in heavy fines and penalties for the directors.
- Protection of Directors: A proper closure safeguards directors from being marked as “disqualified” by the MCA due to non-compliance.
- Peace of Mind: It gives you the confidence to move on to your next venture without the lingering burden of a defunct company.
