  2. Debt Settlement: Pay off all outstanding debts to creditors. 
  3. Asset Distribution: Distribute remaining assets amongst shareholders according to company agreements. 
  4. Peace of Mind: Gain closure and avoid potential legal or financial complications. 

The Process of Dissolving or Winding Up Your Company:
