You own a dormant or empty company

Three ways out

Many Luxembourg companies have lost their registered office, their accountant or their directors. We introduce you to independent professionals who can solve the situation. We do not act in your place and we do not hold your company.

Voluntary liquidation

1. Review of the situation: accounts filed, registered office, debts, assets, shareholders.
2. Shareholders decide the dissolution and appoint a liquidator.
3. The liquidator realises the assets and settles creditors.
4. Closing of the liquidation, filing with the Trade and Companies Register, and keeping of the books.

A company that cannot pay its debts follows a different, judicial procedure. The professional will tell you which route applies.

Dormant company and PDAL

A company with no registered office, no activity or no filed accounts may be exposed to the administrative dissolution procedure without liquidation (PDAL) run by the Luxembourg authorities.

Once started, this procedure leads to the company being dissolved and struck off without a liquidator, which can leave open questions for its shareholders, creditors and directors. Acting before the procedure begins keeps the options available: restoring compliance, an orderly voluntary liquidation or, where there are no debts, a transfer to a new owner.

A company with debts cannot simply be handed over: in that case the routes are restoring compliance or liquidation. Each situation is reviewed on the basis of the documents you provide, after identification.
