Liquidation is the process by which a company (or part of a company) is ended; the assets and properties of the company are redistributed to owners after settling all the liabilities of the Company. We refer to liquidation sometimes as winding-up or dissolution, although dissolution technically refers to the last stage of liquidation.

We have two types of liquidations processes:

1. Liquidation by agreements or voluntary one, sometimes referred to as a ‘shareholders' liquidation’ is when the shareholders of the company decide to cease the operation due to no profitable business or due to accomplishment of delivering its projects or achieving the purposes for which it was created for.

2. Compulsory liquidation is when the liquidation of the company has been decided by the court due to neglect or non-fulfilment of obligations, sometimes referred to as a ‘creditors' liquidation
