Accelerated Exit

Accelerated Exit

A solution that enables organisations to achieve a clean, immediate exit from unwanted or redundant legal entity structures.

Navigating Complexity

Accelerated Exit involves the acquisition of target legal entities by JC from our clients and winding them down to elimination when timing permits. It takes the effort, focus and cost of such work away from our clients almost instantly, allowing you to focus on running your business.

Why should my organisation consider an accelerated exit?

Often following a business disposal or group restructuring, companies are left with legacy structures and / or orphaned legal entities — shells that no longer serve a purpose but remain legally active.

These entities:

  • Require ongoing accounting, tax, and compliance support
  • May hold residual assets, liabilities, or contracts
  • Present reputational or contingent risk if left unmanaged

Our Accelerated Exit service enables organisations to achieve an exit from these entities often within weeks, through a disposal, rather than enduring the more traditional and sometimes years-long wind-down and subsequent liquidation route.

This accelerated exit allows our clients to remove an entity, or group of entities, quickly, releasing management capacity and the time and resources that would otherwise be spent in-house, running and maintaining the entities in advance of their eventual elimination.

There are other scenarios, too, where Accelerated Exit might be considered. Selling entities to a third party will break a tax group, which can be a way of crystallising accumulated losses. This solution may simply be attractive to clients who want to move focus elsewhere immediately, and therefore, it is the speed of transaction and derived benefits thereof that are the real attraction.

How do we deliver our Accelerated Exit service?

Through a controlled transaction, we acquire (usually for nominal value) and manage the legacy entity or group of entities from the client, taking full responsibility (usually through the appointment of JC personnel as directors) for its ongoing administration, wind-down, and eventual dissolution.

We typically deliver our Accelerated Exit service across 3 phases:

1. Due diligence and onboarding

  • Review of the entities to be acquired (financial and non-financial)
  • Agreement of acquisition package which may include an indemnity
  • Appointment of JC personnel as directors of the acquired entities

2. Run & Maintain

  • We work with compliance providers around the world to ensure entities remain in good standing prior to elimination
  • Preparation of statutory accounts/ audits
  • Maintenance of tax compliance

3. Wind-down

  • Resolve and close out open items in preparation for liquidation/ dissolution of each legal entity
  • Wind-down balance sheets and finalise accounting/ tax/ other compliance
  • Liquidate and dissolve residual legal entities

Our Accelerated Exit solution is truly a game-changer for organisations that are seeking a fast, yet diligent, way of removing entities from their group. This unique offering is another example JC thinks creatively to offer better services to our clients.
