What does one mean by company Liquidation Services?

When it is determined that a company will be unable to continue operating, it must shut down. Several things could cause this to occur. A company that must discontinue all of its business operations goes through a procedure called liquidation.

The business can have far more obligations than assets, which would result in losses. The business will have to close down if it cannot survive. A firm may choose to liquidate itself voluntarily if the management decided to do so for reasons they were aware of.
