Liquidation, Dissolution & Cessation of Business

When you wish to suspend or cease business of your company, we can help in the following ways:

CityLinkers provides professional guidance and execution for both voluntary and court-ordered liquidation processes. Acting as liquidator where appropriate, we oversee every stage—from asset realisation and debt settlement to final distribution and statutory reporting. Our team ensures that all steps are conducted in strict compliance with the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance, delivering a transparent, efficient, and fully compliant exit strategy. Whether initiated by business choice or legal requirement, we provide a structured dissolution process that safeguards stakeholder interests and fulfils all legal obligations.

CityLinkers delivers comprehensive, end-to-end support for company deregistration, guiding you through every step in accordance with Hong Kong Companies Registry requirements. We handle all procedural aspects—from preparing and filing the necessary forms to settling outstanding obligations and formally closing business records. In parallel, we manage the revocation of business licences, permits, and registrations with relevant regulatory authorities, ensuring that your company’s legal presence is fully and properly concluded. Our structured approach minimises administrative burden, mitigates compliance risks, and ensures a clean, compliant, and final exit from the Hong Kong market.

CityLinkers assists businesses seeking to temporarily suspend operations without undergoing full deregistration by managing the application for inactive company status. This status enables companies to retain their legal standing while minimising compliance requirements, reducing tax filing obligations, and lowering administrative costs during dormant periods. Our team handles the entire application process—from preparing and filing the necessary documentation to liaising with the Hong Kong Companies Registry—while advising on how to maintain minimal statutory compliance until operations are reactivated. This approach preserves your corporate structure and flexibility while keeping costs and obligations to a minimum.

CityLinkers provides comprehensive, end-to-end advisory support for businesses seeking to close a company or branch in Hong Kong, ensuring the entire process is handled smoothly, compliantly, and with minimal disruption. We manage every aspect of the closure, from preparing and submitting final tax filings to securing clearance from the Hong Kong Inland Revenue Department, to settling outstanding debts and liabilities with creditors. Our team also oversees employee severance arrangements in strict accordance with statutory requirements and ensures the orderly realisation and disposal of assets to meet all legal obligations. Throughout the process, we coordinate with relevant authorities to guarantee that every legal, financial, and regulatory requirement is fully met, reducing the risk of future disputes or penalties. By handling these steps with precision and care, CityLinkers enables you to exit the market efficiently while safeguarding your reputation and maintaining full compliance.
