Statement of Dissolution: The Formal Declaration of Company Closure

A Statement of Dissolution serves as official documentation of a company's legal termination. This document typically includes:

• Company Identification: The Statement clearly identifies the company undergoing dissolution, including its name, registration number, and jurisdiction of incorporation.
• Dissolution Resolution: The Statement incorporates the resolution passed by the company's shareholders or authorized body to dissolve the entity.
• Liquidator Appointment: The Statement appoints a liquidator responsible for overseeing the company's assets, liabilities, and winding-up process.

Switzerland is a signatory to the Hague Apostille Convention, an international treaty that streamlines the process of authenticating documents for use in other member countries. This convention eliminates the need for traditional legalization procedures, making it easier for companies to have their Statements of Dissolution recognized and accepted in Switzerland.
