Is voluntary liquidation right for your BVI company?
Voluntary liquidation may be suitable where a BVI company is solvent, has completed its purpose and is no longer required. Common situations include dormant companies, completed investment structures, group reorganisations and companies that have distributed or are preparing to distribute their remaining assets.
If the company may be unable to pay its debts, has unresolved creditor claims or is already struck off, tell us at the outset so that the appropriate route can be considered.

Frequently asked questions
Can a company with no assets or liabilities be liquidated?
Yes, a solvent company with no remaining assets or liabilities may be suitable for a straightforward voluntary liquidation, subject to its records and compliance position.
Can a company with assets use voluntary liquidation?
Potentially. The liquidation plan should address how each asset will be collected, transferred, sold or distributed. Legal, tax or valuation advice may also be required.
What if the company has outstanding annual fees?
Outstanding Registry, registered agent or compliance matters should be identified during the initial review and may need to be resolved before or during the process.
Is voluntary liquidation the same as strike-off?
No. Voluntary liquidation is a structured winding-up process; strike-off is an administrative status and does not itself resolve every asset or liability. See our comparison of liquidation and strike-off.
Can everything be handled remotely?
Many steps can normally be coordinated remotely, subject to identification, signing, registered agent and filing requirements.
