How to close an LLC with one founder in 2017

A limited liability company may be liquidated voluntarily in the manner established by a decision of its founders (participants). If you are one of the founders of the LLC, all responsibility for the liquidation lies with you. Liquidation is carried out on the basis of the Federal Law "On Limited Liability Companies".

Instruction manual

1

If you are one of the founders of the LLC, the decision to liquidate is taken solely. Appoint a liquidator or a commission that will deal with the liquidation of your LLC. Notify the registration authority of the place of registration of the legal entity in the form P15002 about its creation. Also, you need to notify the tax authority within 3 days of making a decision on liquidation. You must send to the registration (tax) authority "Notification of the decision to liquidate the legal entity" in the form P15001.

2

After you appoint a liquidation commission, all powers to manage the affairs of your legal entity will be transferred to it. Based on the notice of liquidation, the tax authority makes changes to the USRLE and issues a certificate in the form of P50003 and an extract from the USRLE, which indicates that the LLC is in the process of liquidation. From this moment it will not be possible to register any changes in the constituent documents.

3

The commission will take measures to identify the creditors of your LLC, and will notify them in writing of the liquidation. After the deadline for the submission of claims by creditors expires, an interim liquidation balance sheet will be drawn up, which contains information about the property of your LLC and the claims of creditors, and the liquidation commission will also notify the registration authority about it (paragraph 3 of article 20 of Law No. 129-FZ) by form P15003. The balance sheet must be approved by you as the sole participant of the LLC.

4

After all settlements with creditors are completed, the property of the legal entity will be transferred to you as the sole participant of the LLC. After approval of the final version of the liquidation balance sheet, documents are submitted to the tax authority for state registration of the liquidation of the legal entity: an application in the form of P16001, a liquidation balance sheet, a receipt for payment of a fee of 400 rubles, a certificate from the Pension Fund on the provision of information on contributions.

Useful advice

State registration of liquidation of an LLC takes 5 business days from the date of submission of documents. The liquidation is considered complete when changes are made to the USRLE.
