Choosing a structured dissolution and wind-down process protects owners from unresolved liabilities while preserving opportunities for orderly asset distribution and tax compliance. With careful planning, businesses can terminate operations without disrupting critical relationships, protect employees where possible, and position successors to move forward with clarity and confidence.
