Winding-Up of a Business

Many business owners believe that winding up a business is a simple process. No organization can simply close down its operations by making an exit, ceasing operations, taking out the remaining cash, or by removing all the assets. Our legal advisors understand that when a business comes to an end, there are numerous legal obligations and financial constraints that a business owner must deal with. The process of winding up of a business takes time and effort and requires professional assistance.

At SME, our legal advisors will help you throughout the process of winding up of a business. Whether it is notifying the CRA, submitting required legal forms and agreements, filing a tax return or paying any outstanding tax amount, our lawyers will guide you from beginning to the time you close your business.
