Liquidation is a legally regulated process for the dissolution of a company—from the shareholders’ decision, through the commencement of liquidation, the settlement of obligations to creditors, and the termination of contractual relationships, to the company’s removal from the commercial register. Since the amendment to the Commercial Code, a mandatory advance payment of €1,500 toward the liquidator’s fee must be deposited with a notary, and the minimum statutory duration of liquidation is 6 months.
