Why Shut It Down

Clear, complete, defensible

Starting a company takes a few clicks. Closing one still means juggling lawyers, accountants, payroll, banks, and state agencies with no shared source of truth. We put the whole ending in one place.

Workflows reviewed by qualified experts

Every jurisdiction- and entity-specific workflow is reviewed by qualified professionals, versioned, and dated. When your situation needs real judgment, a licensed expert steps in with your case file ready.

A plan built from your facts, not a generic checklist

Answer structured questions about your entity, cap table, people, taxes, and contracts. You get a dependency-aware plan where every task has an owner, a deadline, and a reason it applies.

One source of truth for everyone involved

Approvals, filings, notices, payments, and confirmations live in one case file. Founders, counsel, accountants, and investors see the same timeline and the same definition of done.

Proof you're actually done

A dissolution filing isn't the finish line. We verify every applicable obligation is resolved, then hand you a closure record with signed approvals, receipts, tax filings, and a full audit trail.
