Winding up a company refers to the legal process of dissolving its operations. It involves liquidating assets, settling debts, and officially closing the business according to regulatory requirements.

The winding-up process can be voluntary or compulsory. It is essential for companies that are no longer operational or have decided to cease operations, ensuring legal closure and avoiding further liabilities.

During the winding-up process, a liquidator is appointed to handle asset distribution and creditor settlements. After completion, the company is officially dissolved and removed from the registry of businesses.
