How long does liquidation take?

It’s about half a year.

For a private limited company, the absolute minimum is six months—but only if every statutory step is 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 pass 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.
