Why this matters

When shutdowns are mishandled, distributions stall
and liability risks compound.

  • Fragmented execution creates delays

    Shutdown work is often fragmented. When it is not coordinated properly, distributions get delayed, entities remain exposed, and unresolved obligations become board-level problems.

  • Complete operational coordination

    SimpleClosure prepares Closing Statement of Investment (CSI) documentation for tax advisors and manages capital returns through waterfall calculations, ensuring accurate distributions to all stakeholders.

  • Confidence in clean closure

    You need confidence that closure will be executed with the rigor required to protect board members, return capital efficiently, and ensure nothing surfaces later requiring cleanup.

We handle the execution.
You maintain portfolio oversight.

SimpleClosure is not a board advisor or fiduciary. We work alongside you and your portfolio companies to coordinate the operational, tax, administrative, and execution work required for startup dissolution, so nothing surfaces later.

  • What SimpleClosure handles

    The coordinated legal, tax, operational, and administrative work of closure—managed in the right sequence, with clear visibility and professional handling throughout.

  • What stays with you after shutdown

    Board governance, distribution approvals, fund counsel coordination, and any decisions requiring fiduciary judgment or LP approval.

What we handle

The full scope of closure, managed.

This is more than just a handoff. SimpleClosure manages the sequence of work across the major tracks of shutdown—so the right steps happen in the right order, and avoidable issues are addressed before they become expensive cleanup.

  • Shareholder consent and board resolutions

  • Certificate of dissolution and final records

  • Entity dissolutions and state filings

  • Registered agent and foreign state withdrawals

  • Vendor releases and contract close-out

  • Stakeholder notices and documentation
