We can tell, in twenty minutes, whether a file is “keep current,” “wind down,” or “recover the books first.” We cannot file, change a director, or stand up 1C on a conversation. The week-one pack below is enough to screen, price a fixed scope, and open.
If pieces are missing — and they often are, because the local director left with the laptop — say so. A signed statement that “we do not have years 2022–2023” is more useful than waiting another month for a ghost.
After SDN screening and the engagement letter, tax and corporate onboarding is typically two to three weeks. Director and address changes run in one to two. IT stand-up is two to four. Those clocks start on the pack, not on the first call.
Takeaways
- EGRUL extract, charter, last filings, 1C or a trial balance, director list, leftover FTS letters.
- A one-paragraph objective: hold, liquidate, or recover data.
- Missing documents are a workstream, not a reason to wait.
