Voluntary liquidation for offshore companies
Full statutory wind-up of an offshore entity. Bank-acceptable clean exit: settlement of obligations, sworn declaration of solvency, formal removal from the register (2-3 months minimum, jurisdiction-dependent). Use this path when you need audit-trail proof of dissolution: for fund-adjacent SPVs, Cayman exempted companies, or any customer requiring banking-grade exit documentation.

What's included
- Liquidator engagement and the full statutory wind-up filed through a licensed agent in the entity's jurisdiction
- Settlement of the entity's outstanding obligations as part of the wind-up
- Sworn declaration of solvency prepared for the members to execute
- Formal removal from the register, with the dissolution certificate or equivalent registry confirmation as the exit document
- Audit-trail documentation of the dissolution, the bank-acceptable proof banking and counterparty desks ask for
- Sanctions screen on the order (OFAC, EU, and UN) plus Tier 1 KYC
- Engagement letter
What's NOT included
- Apostille and Certificate of Good Standing on the dissolution documents (sold separately as the Apostille + Good Standing bundle at $189; banks applying abroad usually want the dissolution paper legalized)
- Administrative strike-off as a cheaper path (that is a separate SKU, Strike-off Initiation; it is reversible and not bank-acceptable, so it is priced and sold on its own)
- Any tax preparation, final tax return, or bookkeeping for the closing year (your responsibility; we refer a US enrolled agent for US tax)
- Distribution of remaining assets to members or settlement of intercompany balances beyond the statutory wind-up itself
- Closing the entity's bank accounts (you do that directly with the institution; we do not touch your funds or accounts)
- Mail forwarding
We list what's not included on every product page so there are no checkout surprises.
Operator-grade use case
The clean, definitive way to close an offshore entity. Reach for it when you need audit-trail proof that the company is gone, not just dormant: a licensed liquidator runs the statutory wind-up, the members swear a declaration of solvency, obligations are settled, and the registry formally removes the entity. The output is a dissolution record a bank, auditor, or counterparty will accept at face value. Plan on 2 to 3 months minimum, jurisdiction-dependent.
Most appropriate for operators who carry institutional scrutiny on the way out: fund-adjacent SPVs, Cayman exempted companies, and any structure where a counterparty, prime broker, or auditor will ask for banking-grade proof that the vehicle was wound up rather than left to lapse. If your exit narrative has to survive due diligence, this is the path that produces the paper.
Less ideal for a dormant shell with no assets, no banking history, and nobody downstream who will ever ask how it closed. For that, administrative strike-off through Strike-off Initiation is cheaper. The honest tradeoff: strike-off is reversible for years and is not bank-acceptable as a clean-exit document, so do not use it if anyone might later need proof the entity is definitively dissolved.

Common questions
- What is the difference between voluntary liquidation and strike-off?
- Liquidation is a full statutory wind-up: a licensed liquidator settles obligations, the members swear a declaration of solvency, and the entity is formally removed from the register, producing a dissolution record banks accept. Strike-off is administrative non-renewal; it is cheaper, reversible for 5 to 7 years, and not bank-acceptable as clean-exit proof. Use liquidation when you need definitive, documented closure.
- How long does it take and what does it cost?
- The wind-up runs 2 to 3 months minimum, jurisdiction-dependent, because the statutory waiting period and registry timing are outside our control. The $2,499 all-in price covers the licensed-agent wind-up, the solvency declaration, registry removal, and Tier 1 KYC, settled in BTC, Lightning, or USDT via BitSettle. There is no annual renewal: it is a one-time exit.
- Will I get documents a bank or auditor will accept?
- Yes. That is the point of this path versus strike-off. You receive the dissolution certificate or equivalent registry confirmation plus audit-trail documentation of the wind-up. If the receiving bank or counterparty is abroad, add the Apostille + Good Standing bundle so the dissolution paper is legalized for cross-border use.
- Does liquidation handle my final taxes?
- No. We run the corporate wind-up and registry removal; we do not prepare or file your final tax return or keep books. Closing an entity can trigger final filings depending on its jurisdiction and your tax residence, and for US tax we refer you to a US enrolled agent. General information, not tax advice.
