Understanding Company Dissolution: A Comprehensive Guide

33-13

 

1. Understanding Company Dissolution: A Comprehensive Guide

Company dissolution, as defined by the Law on Companies, is a legal procedure that allows businesses to withdraw from the market. This process can be initiated by factors involving not only the internal dynamics of the company but also its relationships with external entities, including customers, partners, employees, and state management agencies. These relationships often revolve around property and contractual obligations.

Dissolution is considered complete only when all related matters are appropriately addressed, necessitating adherence to specific procedures outlined by the Enterprise Law 2020.

2. Various Scenarios for Company Dissolution

Voluntary Dissolution

Voluntary dissolution occurs under two primary circumstances:

  • Owner's Decision: The company owner decides to dissolve the business.
  • Non-extension of Operation Term: The company fails to extend its operation term, as stated in the charter.

The decision to dissolve a business involves critical details:

  • Company Information: Including the name and address of the company's head office.
  • Reason for Dissolution: Clearly stating the motive behind the dissolution.
  • Debt Payment Plan: Outlining the timeline, method of contract liquidation, and debt payment. Debt settlement should occur within six months of the dissolution decision's approval.
  • Labor Contract Obligations: A plan to manage obligations arising from labor contracts.
  • Legal Representative: Full name and signature of the legal representative of the company.

Procedures for Voluntary Dissolution

Step 1: Approving the Decision

The company must conduct a meeting to approve the dissolution decision. The decision should be ratified by:

  • The owner for a one-member limited liability company.
  • The members' council for a limited liability company with two or more general partners.
  • The general meeting of shareholders for joint-stock companies.
  • The general meeting of partners for a partnership company.

Step 2: Announcing the Decision

The company must notify parties with related rights and interests of the dissolution decision, including creditors. The notice should provide specific details about the debt settlement plan.

Step 3: Liquidating Assets and Paying Debts

Company debts are settled in the following order:

  1. Debt related to employees (e.g., salaries, severance allowance, social insurance).
  2. Tax debt.
  3. Other debts.

After settling all debts and business dissolution costs, any remaining assets belong to the company's owner or members.

Step 4: Submitting Dissolution Application

Step 5: Updating Legal Status

Within five working days of receiving the dissolution dossier, the business registration authority updates the company's legal status in the national enterprise registration database.

Forced Dissolution

Forced dissolution arises in situations where:

  • The company lacks enough members for six consecutive months.
  • The company's operating license is revoked.

Procedures for Forced Dissolution

Step 1: Business Registration Authority Notification

The business registration authority notifies the enterprise's dissolution status on the National Business Registration Portal when revoking the Certificate of Business Registration or receiving an effective dissolution decision from the Court. These decisions must be attached to the notice.

Step 2: Receiving the Dissolution Decision

The company must receive the dissolution decision and send it to the relevant agencies, including the company registration agency, tax agency, and employees. The decision should also be publicly disclosed.

Step 3: Asset Liquidation and Debt Payment

Step 4: Submitting the Dissolution File

Step 5: Updating Legal Status

Within five working days of receiving the dissolution dossier, the business registration authority updates the company's legal status in the national enterprise registration database.

3. Essential Components of a Dissolution Dossier

A dissolution dossier typically includes:

  • Notice of dissolution of the company.
  • Minutes of the liquidation of corporate assets.
  • The list of creditors and the payment of debts, including tax debts, social insurance debts, and debts to employees after the decision on dissolution of the enterprise (if applicable).
  • Seal and form the certificate (if any).
