Frequently asked questions

How long does limited company formation take?

Company formation varies according to the number of partners, capital structure and workload at the trade registry directorate. Complete preparation of documents helps completion of registration within the legal timetable.

What route should be followed in commercial receivables disputes?

In disputes arising from commercial receivables, identification of evidence such as invoices, contracts, notices and payment documents is a priority. Enforcement proceedings or direct litigation may be pursued depending on the type of claim. Review of limitation periods on a file-by-file basis is critical to avoid loss of rights.

How does withdrawal from company partnership work?

Withdrawal from partnership may occur through share transfer, dissolution, liquidation or expulsion of a partner. The legal method is determined under TCC provisions according to company type (joint-stock or limited), articles of association and the free will of the parties.
