Frequently asked questions
- What does Sunset actually handle during a wind-down?
- Sunset manages the entire wind-down process end to end — legal dissolution filings, final tax returns, capital redistribution to investors, asset disposition, state withdrawals, payroll closure, and ongoing compliance. You get a dedicated team of attorneys, CPAs, and a Client Success lead.
- How long does the wind-down process take?
- Most wind-downs are completed in weeks, not months. The exact timeline depends on factors like the number of states you're registered in, outstanding liabilities, and asset complexity. Our team has handled hundreds of dissolutions and moves quickly.
- How much does it cost to wind down with Sunset?
- Sunset charges a single, flat fee that covers the entire wind-down — legal, tax, and operations. There are no hidden costs or hourly billing surprises. Book a call to get a quote based on your specific situation.
- Can I still wind down if my startup has debt or outstanding liabilities?
- Yes. Our legal team assesses all outstanding obligations and works through them as part of the dissolution process, including creditor notifications, liability resolution, and ensuring you're protected from future claims.
