Closing your business

When closing a small business you need to address a number of issues.
  • Bankruptcy & insolvency
    If you can't pay your business debts, and haven't been able to reach an agreement with your creditors, then you may decide to go bankrupt.
  • Deregistering or winding up a solvent company
    If you're going to end your business, you may decide to wind up the company, or simply deregister it.
  • Cancel your business name
    If a business name is no longer required you'll need to complete and lodge the appropriate forms with your relevant state governments.
