This issue underscores the importance of safeguarding essential documents and understanding the regulatory steps necessary to navigate such situations. In this discussion, we will explore the implications of a lost Certificate of Business Registration on the dissolution procedure and the potential solutions available.
Question:
Currently, our company intends to go through the dissolution procedure. However, our certificate of business registration has been lost. Can we proceed with the dissolution procedure without the certificate? How can we be guided by the Business Registration Office?
Answer:
– In the case of your company, we recommend that you submit the “Request for Reissuance of Certificate of Business Registration” according to Form II-20 (Circular 02/2019/TT-BKHDT) when you submit the dissolution dossier for the company (Step 2).
– You can refer to the dissolution procedures and forms for the company on the website of the Authority of Planning and Investment: “www. dangkykinhdoanh.gov.vn/ news/ latest-news/ Reference templates” for business registration according to the provisions of Law on Investment 2020 No. 59/2020/QH14.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the loss of a Certificate of Business Registration need not be an insurmountable obstacle to the dissolution procedure. While it does introduce complexities, companies have avenues to address this challenge through legal means. It is imperative for businesses to promptly report the loss, engage legal counsel, and adhere to the specific requirements set forth by the relevant authorities.
