Service · Liquidation & dissolution
Close your company cleanly, with nothing left trailing.
Dissolution, liquidation, deregistration: we run the complete procedure — meetings, publications, cessation filings, deregistration from the RC (trade register), IF, TP and CNSS — so the company is truly closed, and you are truly free of it.
The initial review is free: we look at the company's real tax and social position before putting a figure on anything.
What's included
The complete procedure, from decision to deregistration.
A closure happens in two stages — dissolve, then liquidate — and ends with deregistration at every administration.
Preliminary review
The company's tax, social and accounting position: missing returns, debts, receivables to collect, assets to sell. This diagnosis determines the quote and the timetable.
Dissolution EGM
Drafting the minutes of early dissolution, appointing the liquidator, registering the minutes and filing with the commercial court registry.
Legal publications
Dissolution and then closure notices in a legal gazette and the Official Bulletin, at the stages the law requires.
Liquidation operations
Collecting receivables, settling debts, selling assets, closing the liquidation accounts and determining the surplus or shortfall.
Cessation filings
Tax filings for cessation of activity, the final liasse fiscale, closing TVA (VAT), taxation of the liquidation result: the tax side handled through to the end.
Closing EGM & deregistrations
Approval of the liquidation accounts, discharge of the liquidator, then deregistration at the trade register and with the DGI (IF, business tax) and the CNSS.
A badly closed company continues to exist legally and fiscally: the filing obligations keep running, and so does the minimum contribution. Full deregistration is the only real full stop.
How much does closing a company in Morocco cost?
Our fees are set by quotation, after a free review — because no two liquidations are alike. A SARL with no activity, up to date with its filings and debt-free, closes with a light procedure. A company with tax arrears, assets to sell or ongoing disputes requires real liquidation work. On top of the fees come the administrative charges: registration, publications, court registry. The quote clearly separates the two — and it is firm.
How long does a liquidation take?
The procedure involves at least two general meetings — dissolution, then closure — with the liquidation operations and tax regularisations in between. In practice, for a simple, up-to-date company, allow a few months; a file with arrears to clear or assets to realise takes longer. What stretches a liquidation most is not the procedure: it is the regularisations discovered along the way. Hence the initial review.
Can you close a company that has tax debts?
Not as it stands: tax deregistration requires the position to be settled — the administration does not strike off a company that owes it money. The realistic path: quantify the arrears precisely, regularise (negotiating the surcharges where possible), then run the liquidation. We give you the real total cost before starting, so the decision to close is made with full knowledge.
What happens if you abandon the company without closing it?
It is the worst option, and the most common. The company keeps existing: each unfiled year is added to the last, the minimum contribution and business tax keep running, the surcharges pile up — and the day you want to start something new, obtain a tax certificate or simply turn the page, it all resurfaces at once. Closing properly costs a known, finite amount; letting it drag costs an unknown, growing one.
Do you have to keep filing during the liquidation?
Yes. The company's legal personality survives for the purposes of the liquidation: the filing obligations — TVA (VAT), IS, CNSS if staff remain — continue until closure. The firm handles them throughout the procedure, so the liquidation period does not itself create new arrears.
How it works
Four phases, an announced timetable.
You take the decision; we run the procedure and report to you at every stage.
Review & quote
Examination of the company's real tax, social and accounting position. You receive a firm quote and a timetable — including the cost of any regularisations.
Dissolution
Dissolution EGM, appointment of the liquidator, registration, filing with the court registry, publications. The company officially enters liquidation.
Liquidation & regularisations
Realising the assets, paying the debts, cessation filings, the final liasse fiscale, obtaining the clearance certificates needed for deregistration.
Closure & deregistrations
Closing EGM, discharge, final publication, then deregistration at the RC, the DGI (IF, TP) and the CNSS. You receive the complete file — the company no longer exists.
Pricing
On quotation — because every file is different.
There is no honest single price for a liquidation: the cost depends on the company's real state. Hence a firm quote, after a free diagnosis.
Close cleanly
Dissolution, liquidation, deregistration — we wind up without nasty surprises.
- Free file review
- Dissolution EGM + liquidator
- Legal publications (gazette + Official Bulletin)
- Cessation filings & final liasse fiscale
- Closing EGM & discharge
- Deregistration — RC · IF · TP · CNSS
A company up to date, or financial years and returns to regularise before closing is possible: the first cost factor.
An empty shell liquidates quickly; stock, equipment or debts to negotiate require real liquidation work.
Employees mean proper exits: final settlements, CNSS cessation filings.
Registration, publications, court registry: paid to the authorities, listed separately on the quote — no mark-up from the firm.
Who it's for
This service is for you if…
01
The business has stopped
The company no longer trades but still exists — and keeps accumulating obligations. It's time to close it for good.
02
You're changing course
You're moving to a new structure or a new professional life: we settle the old one, cleanly, while you build what's next.
03
The company never got started
Incorporated but never operated: even without activity, it must be dissolved properly to stop existing for tax purposes.
04
You've inherited a situation
A dormant family company, a departed partner, a murky file: we reconstruct, regularise and close — methodically.
Frequently asked questions
Liquidation: your questions.
What is the difference between dissolution and liquidation?
Dissolution is the decision to end the company — voted at an extraordinary general meeting. Liquidation is the period that follows: a liquidator realises the assets, pays the debts and closes the accounts. The company only disappears after the closing EGM and its removal from the trade register.
Who can act as liquidator?
Most often the manager or a shareholder, appointed by the meeting that decides the dissolution. The liquidator signs the documents of the liquidation period and reports to the shareholders. We prepare all their documents and support them at every step.
Can the company be made dormant instead of closed?
A temporary cessation of activity can be declared, but it does not make the company's obligations disappear — and it does not last indefinitely. If a restart is genuinely on the cards, it is an option worth examining; otherwise it only postpones a liquidation that has become inevitable. We help you decide honestly.
What happens to remaining equipment or stock?
Assets are sold or taken over by the shareholders during the liquidation, with the corresponding tax consequences (VAT, liquidation result). We cost both options before choosing — taking assets in kind is not always the more advantageous.
Is the liquidation surplus taxed?
Yes: if the liquidation produces a surplus — what remains for the shareholders after the debts are paid and the contributions repaid — it is taxed under the rules in force. We build it into the calculation from the initial review, so the final net is not a surprise.
How much does it cost to close a dormant, up-to-date SARL?
That is the simplest case: the standard procedure of two meetings, publications and deregistrations. The exact quote depends on the file, but it is given before any commitment — and the review that precedes it is free.
