Liquidation

Close your Estonian OÜ with professional support

Alexander Vest and the Vest Consulting team help international owners review and manage the voluntary liquidation of their Estonian OÜ. We assess your company records, explain the available route and provide a written quotation before paid work begins.

Independent private consultancy. Vest Consulting is not a government authority and is not affiliated with the Estonian Commercial Register or the e-Residency programme. Official decisions remain with the relevant authorities.

1. Company review and quotation

Start by sending your company name or registry code and a short description of its situation. We confirm the available closure route, scope and fees in a personalised written quotation. We will guide you through the records needed for the next steps.

2. Decisions, documents and representation

We prepare the required dissolution documents and arrange representation where needed. Digital signing, identity verification, powers of attorney and any notarial requirements are confirmed for your circumstances, including an expired e-Residency card.

3. Register filings and creditor notice

We coordinate the Commercial Register filings, appointment of a liquidator and required creditor notifications. Annual reports are filed with the e-Business Register; tax declarations are submitted to the Estonian Tax and Customs Board. Missing accounts are addressed as part of the agreed accounting work.

4. Claims, accounts and statutory waiting periods

The liquidator deals with assets, liabilities and creditor claims and prepares the required liquidation reports. The four-month creditor claim period is only one part of the process. Other statutory waiting periods and the company’s circumstances affect when deletion can be requested.

5. Deletion and document retention

Once the legal conditions are met, the deletion application is submitted to the Commercial Register. We confirm the register’s decision and arrangements for retaining company documents. Deletion does not automatically extinguish every possible claim or personal liability.

How long does liquidation take?

The official e-Residency guidance describes voluntary liquidation as taking an average of 6–9 months. This is an indication, not a guaranteed deadline: missing reports, unresolved debts, disputes and register requirements can extend the process.
