It is not possible to put your business on hold. Sometimes you may have to stop your business temporarily. For example, for a study, a (temporary) job, or to travel. Read what you need to arrange depending on your situation. 

The outlook for your business is bleak. Every day you stay in business is costing you money. Quitting is inevitable. With the Step-by-step plan ending in a controlled manner, you keep control while ending your business. The plan consists of 5 components.

1. Dealing with your emotions
2. Finding help
3. Preparing for ending your business
4. Are you left with debts after quitting? Find a solution that suits your situation. You can go through different routes. For example, an amicable settlement, or through the Natural Persons Debt Restructuring Act (Wet schuldsanering natuurlijke personen, Wsnp)
5. Getting started with ending your business: depending on your situation and legal structure, you go through a number of steps to end your business. Also cancel current subscriptions and insurance policies. Finally, deregister your business from the Chamber of Commerce KVK.
