Company liquidation in Uzbekistan
We handle voluntary LLC liquidation in Uzbekistan from the shareholders' decision to removal from the register: creditor notices, tax reconciliation, liquidation accounts, account closure and the filings. The fee is $1,000–3,000, fixed in the quote after a review of the company within one business day. We first check whether a solvent closure, a reorganisation or insolvency is the right route.
We work in English, Russian and Uzbek.

Who this service is for
For owners closing an active or dormant LLC, including companies with foreign founders. If the company cannot settle its liabilities, has unresolved disputes or needs to transfer a business rather than close it, we assess those circumstances before proposing voluntary liquidation.
Fees and scope
| Service | Fee |
|---|---|
| Turnkey voluntary LLC liquidation | $1,000–3,000, fixed in the quote |
The $1,000–3,000 covers the voluntary LLC liquidation described in the quote. The state of the books, creditors, assets, employees and tax records sets the fee within the range. The quote lists the periods, documents and coordination it includes.
Quoted separately: restoring the accounts, contested liabilities, asset sales, court or insolvency work and large historical corrections. State, archive, bank and other third-party charges are itemised. The voluntary-liquidation fee does not cover bankruptcy or reorganisation.
What the fee includes
- The route decision first: a solvent voluntary liquidation, a reorganisation that transfers the business instead of closing it, or insolvency where obligations have gone unperformed for three months.
- The shareholders' decision, appointment of the liquidator and notification of the registering authority, which starts the statutory clock: the whole voluntary liquidation takes no more than six months from that notice.
- Publication of the creditor notice and the claims period of at least two months, with a register of claims received and the settlement order.
- The tax side: reconciliation of the personal account, the liquidation tax audit of up to 30 calendar days covering no more than three years, or confirmation that your company is exempt as a low-risk taxpayer with income under UZS 10 billion over three years; offset and refund of any overpaid tax during liquidation.
- Employees: notices, the dismissal orders, the final settlement with unused-leave compensation and the severance and average-pay entitlements that liquidation carries, and closure of the employment records.
- The interim liquidation balance sheet after the claims period and the final one after settlements, prepared from reconciled books.
- Closing bank accounts, cancelling the digital signature and cash register, handing the personnel and accounting archive to the state archive where required, and returning the seal.
- Removal from the state register and the confirmation to you, or, for a dormant company that has not operated, the strike-off route after one year in dormant status.
Restoring the accounts, contested liabilities, asset sales, court or insolvency work and large corrections of past periods are quoted separately once we have seen the company.

What to send us
- Company activity, ownership, whether it is dormant and the reason for closure.
- Assets, bank accounts, employees, creditor or tax balances and disputes.
- Last filed reports, condition of the books and availability of corporate records.
A short summary is enough for the first email. Once we have looked at the task, we tell you how to hand over company, tax and employee documents.
What we can handle
Below is the work we take on. Your quote lists exactly which of these tasks, deliverables and reporting periods are included.
Choose the closure route
Review solvency, assets, liabilities, tax status and pending disputes. Explain whether voluntary closure, reorganisation or an insolvency assessment fits the facts, then prepare the agreed work plan.
Read the guide: Business liquidation and bankruptcy in Uzbekistan
Corporate decisions and creditors
Prepare the shareholder resolution, notices and creditor register. Track responses, claims and agreed settlements, recording unresolved matters that affect the closure.
Tax reconciliation and liquidation accounts
Reconcile balances and tax records, prepare interim and final liquidation statements and the agreed reports. Identify missing books, overpayments and corrections before the final submission.
Employees and operational closure
Prepare agreed staff notifications and final-settlement documents. Coordinate the closure of contracts, bank accounts and records, and the archive steps relevant to the company.

Registration and final handover
Prepare and submit the agreed closure documents, follow authority requests and collect the registration result. Where a business transfer or reorganisation is preferable, define that as a separate corporate assignment.

How the six months are spent
- Weeks 1–2: decision, liquidator, notice to the registering authority, publication and creditor notices; employees notified.
- Months 1–2: claims period runs; books reconciled, tax reconciliation started, employee settlements calculated.
- Months 2–4: tax audit or exemption confirmed; interim balance sheet; creditor settlements in the statutory order; overpaid tax refunded.
- Months 4–6: final balance sheet, account closures, archive, filing for removal from the register.
When voluntary liquidation is not the route
If the company cannot pay its creditors, it shows signs of insolvency once obligations have gone unperformed for three months; the application to open proceedings is heard within two months, and liquidation proceedings last up to twelve months with a possible three-month extension. If the business should continue in another form, a reorganisation with creditor notices within 30 days of the decision replaces liquidation. We tell you which applies before the shareholders sign anything.
What you receive
- A route assessment, closure work plan and corporate or creditor documents.
- Agreed reconciliations, liquidation statements and employee settlement records.
- A closure file with submissions, decisions and registry confirmation when issued.
How the work proceeds
- Send a short description and the details listed above. You get a reply within one business day: a fixed quote, or the one or two questions we still need answered.
- Assess the route, books and liabilities; agree the tasks, exclusions, fee and client decisions needed.
- Prepare the decisions and notices, reconcile accounts and coordinate agreed creditor and employee settlements.
- Complete the agreed closing records and registration submission, follow requests and hand over the closure file.
Closure runs through creditor, employee, tax and registration steps that depend on each other. We give a schedule after reviewing the company; incomplete records or disputed liabilities can change the route and the timetable.
Frequently asked questions
Can a company with debts use voluntary liquidation?
We first review whether the liabilities can be settled and whether there are disputes or insolvency indicators. The appropriate route follows that assessment; the voluntary closure price does not automatically cover insolvency proceedings.
Can you close a dormant company with a foreign founder?
Yes, we assess dormant and foreign-owned LLCs. The document and signing arrangements depend on the founders and records. Dormancy does not remove the need to reconcile accounts and complete the relevant closure steps.
Does the fee include restoring years of missing accounts?
Only if that work is expressly included. We identify historical bookkeeping, amended reports and missing documents during the assessment and separate any restoration assignment from the standard closure work.
How long does an LLC liquidation take?
The law caps a voluntary liquidation at six months from the notice to the registering authority, with creditors' claims accepted for at least two months. Companies that reach us with reconciled books and no disputes usually use the minimum; incomplete records or a tax audit take the schedule towards the limit.
Is there a tax audit on liquidation?
Usually yes: it lasts up to 30 calendar days and covers no more than three years. Companies with a low tax-risk rating and income under UZS 10 billion over three years are not audited. We reconcile the personal account before the notice so the audit has nothing to find.
Can a dormant company simply be struck off?
A company that has been in dormant status for one year is removed from the register by decision of the registering authority. Where that is faster and safe, we recommend it instead of a full liquidation; where the company has staff, assets or open filings, it is not.
What happens to the employees?
They are dismissed on the liquidation ground with notice, the final settlement on the last working day, compensation for unused leave and the severance and average-pay entitlements the law provides for liquidation. We prepare the orders, the calculations and the record closures.
What if the company's debts exceed its assets?
Voluntary liquidation is for a company that can pay its creditors. Once obligations have been unperformed for three months the company shows signs of insolvency, and the route is an insolvency application, heard within two months, with liquidation proceedings of up to twelve months. We assess the balance sheet first and say which route applies.
Can overpaid tax be recovered during liquidation?
Yes. Overpayments are offset against any debt and the balance refunded on application; liquidation and reorganisation have their own procedure for it, which we run as part of the tax reconciliation.
