The company’s obligations may significantly outnumber its assets, putting it in jeopardy of going bankrupt. The firm will have to close if it cannot continue to operate. Liquidation of a firm can also be voluntary if the management has decided to close it down for reasons, they are aware of.

The next stage in your liquidation procedure is to make sure that all of your employees have been formally dismissed from the firm, their outstanding debts have been paid, and the staff count has been reduced to zero.
