While we hope it doesn't come to this, we know the reality of our current situation and that it is inevitable that some businesses will not survive.

It's a difficult decision that is sometimes necessary. And, there are certain steps to follow to do it correctly. Our advisors can offer guidance and assistance, however obtaining specific legal, accounting, or tax advice specific to your business is often recommended.
