It’s about half a year.

For a private limited company, the absolute minimum is six months—but only if all statutory steps are completed on time.

• The clock starts when the dissolution is entered in the Commercial Register and the liquidation notice is published in the state gazette Ametlikud Teadaanded.

• At least four months must elapse after shareholders are notified of the final balance sheet and asset distribution plan.

If all filings, creditor notices, and tax clearances are handled promptly, the process can be wrapped up in roughly half a year; any outstanding requirements will extend the timeline.

However, in certain cases, we can offer a fast solution within a few business days: we purchase the shares and take over management of the company, after which we proceed with the dissolution in accordance with Estonian legal procedures. This option may be suitable for clients who need a faster exit or cannot manage the liquidation process themselves. We will first assess eligibility and confirm the applicable solution.
