Closing a company takes two steps: dissolution and its KBIS, then liquidation and RCS deregistration with the radiation KBIS ~30 days later. We handle debt checks, final filings and account closures.

Policy background

Closure also goes through the one-stop portal, but the law is unchanged: dissolution published and filed within a month, liquidation capped at three years, legal personality extinguished only at deregistration.

For freelancers the real risk is social and fiscal: CFE is owed based on your status on January 1st — closing in late December vs early January changes a full year of tax.

Who it's for

Dissolution filing & KBISLiquidation & RCS deregistrationRadiation KBISURSSAF / Impôts debt checkFinal filings & closures

How it works

  1. Dissolution — Decisions, notice and filing.
  2. KBIS — Received in ~30 days.
  3. Liquidation — Liquidation accounts, RCS removal.
  4. Wrap-up — Radiation KBIS, final filings, accounts closed.

Common pitfalls

⚠️ Stopping without deregistering — Without a declared cessation, URSSAF and CFE keep accruing and debts snowball.
⚠️ Distributing before settling — Sharing assets before debts are paid makes the liquidator personally liable.
⚠️ Wrong effective date — Crossing January 1st costs a full year of CFE: file before December 31st.
⚠️ Skipping the final return — The results return is due within 60 days of cessation, with monthly penalties.
