(Togo First) - Many reasons could explain a company’s dissolution. Its life term could have expired; it may have completed its corporate goal; it could be due to operational issues resulting from a disagreement between managing partners; or even serious financial problems. 

Dissolution is a prerequisite to liquidating the company’s assets. In Togo, formalities related to this process are carried out at the Center for Business Formalities (CFE). The person submitting the request must have full legal capacity. For Togolese and ECOWAS nationals, the cost of the procedure is CFA24,125 and for non-ECOWAS nationals, it is CFA29,125. 

The dissolution is usually effective 24 hours after the necessary documentation has been submitted. Once effective, the company ceases to exist.
