    Cayman Islands Voluntary Liquidations: Operational Efficiencies from Starting the Liquidation Process Earlier
    2017-07-10

    The timing of the commencement of the voluntary liquidation of a Cayman Islands company was often driven primarily by the desire to avoid incurring the following year’s annual government fees. To avoid those fees, the liquidation had to commence by December, with the final meeting being held before the end of January. This timetable allowed for an effective dissolution date into the next calendar year, while still avoiding the government fees for that year.
