The general procedure of bankruptcy proceedings for LLC  is by the Law of Ukraine "On Restoring Debtor's Solvency or Declaring it Bankrupt". This legal act sets out the sequence of events at the official termination of the company, followed by partial or complete performance of obligations to creditors, employees or government agencies and foundations.

The service is available in Western Region (Lviv region., Ternopil, Ivano-Frankivsk, Lutsk, Chernivtsi, Rivne, Uzhgorod).

It is mandatory for all companies subject to the procedure of bankruptcy to pass all successive stages, guaranteeing protection of the rights of creditors and employees of the company.

Thus, the basis to make a decision on bankruptcy of the joint-stock company is already set. Then the liquidation procedure is being started and a liquidator is appointed. The liquidator carries out all the procedures provided by law, considers the claims of creditors, and estimates assets and liabilities that represent property and monetary value to study the possibility of debt, etc. At the end of the procedure the liquidation balance sheet is prepared, a report is being made and submitted to the court.

BASED ON ESTIMATED CAPABILITIES, THE DEBTORS’ ARE BEING PAID IN THE FOLLOWING ORDER:

  • damages to life and health, mortgaged claims of creditors;
  • the workers regarding labor relations;
  • mandatory payments.
