Company Winding Up & Business Closure Services

Managing business exit, closure and liquidation processes. When it’s time to close a Bangladeshi entity, whether through voluntary liquidation, strike-off, or the closure of a branch or liaison office, we manage the process end-to-end so your exit is clean, compliant and final.

Completing the Exit Phase of Your Journey

Winding up is the final milestone of Enter → Establish → Operate → Grow → Exit. A well-managed exit protects directors and shareholders from residual liability and ensures every regulator, from RJSC to NBR, formally recognizes that your entity has closed.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between voluntary liquidation and strike-off?

Voluntary liquidation is a formal court- or member-driven winding-up process typically used for companies with assets or liabilities to settle, while strike-off is a simpler administrative removal from the RJSC register generally reserved for dormant companies with no outstanding obligations.

How long does a company closure typically take in Bangladesh?

Timelines vary significantly by route and complexity, from a few months for a straightforward strike-off to considerably longer for a voluntary liquidation involving creditor claims and asset distribution.

Do we need NBR tax clearance before RJSC will approve closure?

Yes, a tax clearance certificate from the National Board of Revenue is generally required as part of the closure process, confirming all tax liabilities have been settled before RJSC finalizes deregistration.
