Clarify Closure Goal and Decision Horizon
Establish the precise rationale and timeline for executing a controlled, solvent wind-down of the venture. Define the explicit trigger date, target cessation day, and governance framework required to govern the orderly termination of business operations.
Completing this action establishes a definitive operational runway and explicit mandate for solvent wind-down. It prevents costly operational drift by aligning founders, directors, and investors around a non-negotiable termination timeline.
The founder must produce a formally minuted board resolution confirming the decision horizon, runway balance, and primary closure objectives. This must include insolvency practitioner confirmation of solvent status and documented director liability safeguards.
