The liquidation of a company is a process in which a company, fully or partially (part of it), ceases to exist. The assets and properties of the company are redistributed. The other terms used for liquidation of a company in Qatar include dissolution, winding-up, and insolvency. Dissolution is the last stage in the process of liquidation.

Types of Liquidation Processes Followed in Qatar

Let us have a look at the two types of liquidation processes followed.

Compulsory Liquidation

A compulsory liquidation occurs when a company is unable to meet its obligations due to non-fulfillment or neglect. Another industry term that refers to compulsory liquidation is creditors’ liquidation.

Liquidation by Agreement

Liquidation by agreement, as the name suggests, is voluntary liquidation. The other name for this type of insolvency is shareholders’ liquidation. This type of liquidation occurs when the shareholders of a company mutually decide that the organization will no longer operate because of reasons like not earning any profits, achievement of the deliverables originally set, or accomplishing the purpose for which it was originally set up.
