Fix the cap stack. Or close it cleanly.
Restructuring and shutdown for venture-backed C-corps — cap-stack cleanup, liability reduction, recaps, and clean dissolutions, run by a team that has built, scaled, and restructured venture-backed companies — working alongside your counsel and bankers.
Two problems, handled two ways.
They're separate decisions. If the company is solvent and you just need it closed, that's a shutdown. If there's a cap stack and liabilities to deal with first, that's a restructuring — which may itself end in a clean wind-down.
There's value worth saving — or a stack to clean.
For companies that aren't simply closing: a messy cap table, stacked preferences, venture debt, liabilities to reduce, or a sale that needs a clean structure first.
- Cap-stack cleanup & recapitalizations
- Liability reduction & creditor negotiation
- Structured wind-downs & ABCs
It's solvent. You just need it closed, cleanly.
A dignified, managed dissolution: filings, resignations, investor comms, and sequencing designed to protect directors from personal liability.
- Board resolutions & Delaware dissolution
- Resignations sequenced to protect directors
- Final filings & investor closing statements
Two tracks. One simple decision.
A solvent Delaware C-corp can be dissolved for one flat fee, start to finish. Anything involving debt you can’t cover, creditors, or a cap stack to repair is a restructuring mandate — scoped person to person.
- The full authorization package — board resolutions, stockholder written consent (DGCL §228), and the Plan of Dissolution & Liquidation, prepared for counsel sign-off
- Delaware, handled — franchise tax brought current and the §275 Certificate of Dissolution filed, returned to you file-stamped
- IP, asset & investor close-out — disposition of IP and remaining assets (including investor license-back terms where retained), equity-plan and investor-agreement terminations, and final investor communications
- Cap-stack cleanup & recapitalizations
- Liability reduction & creditor settlement
- Structured wind-downs & ABCs
- Fixed-fee or retainer — never success-tied
Legal advice and filings are delivered by independently licensed counsel; tax work by licensed CPAs — each under their own engagement. LLCs, multi-state footprints, and companies with employees to offboard are quoted on the call.
Asked on almost every first call.
How much does it cost to dissolve a Delaware C-corp?
A flat $2,499 for a solvent C-corp — the authorization package, the §275 filing, and IP & investor close-out. Delaware fees and franchise tax at cost.
How long does it take?
Weeks, not months, for a clean close — driven by consents, bringing franchise tax current, and state processing time.
Do I still need a lawyer?
Yes — and that’s built in. Independently licensed counsel advises and signs off; we prepare and project-manage the whole sequence.
What if the company has debt it can’t pay?
Then it isn’t a simple dissolution — it’s a restructuring. Run the path-finder or talk to us and we’ll scope the right route.
What we do — and where the line sits.
We're the operator-quarterback. The regulated execution runs through licensed professionals, on their own engagements. That boundary is deliberate — it's what keeps you protected and keeps our fees clean.
What we do
- Diagnose the cap stack and liabilities, and write the plan
- Quarterback the chosen path and protect the board through it
- Coordinate counsel, bankers, and assignees as one point of contact
- Run clean dissolutions end to end
What we don't do
- We don't give legal or tax advice — licensed counsel and CPAs do, on their own engagements
- We don't broker securities or take transaction-based fees — recap financings run through a registered banker
- We don't charge success fees or contingencies — fixed-fee and retainer only
- We can't guarantee no one ever sues — we minimize the grounds and document the record
Three steps. One point of contact.
A short, honest call
Twenty minutes on the cap stack, liabilities, headcount, and creditors. You leave with a recommended track and a straight answer on fit.
The plan, in writing
A sequenced plan and engagement letter. For restructurings, we line up the counsel and banker who'll execute the regulated pieces.
Run and resolved

SAFEs at shutdown — what actually happens to the money
A SAFE isn’t a loan and isn’t stock — and that gap decides what investors recover when the company closes.
