Closing a business, cost (% of estate)

The cost of the proceedings is recorded as a percentage of the estate’s value. The cost is calculated on the basis of survey responses by insolvency practitioners and includes court fees as well as fees of insolvency practitioners, independent assessors, lawyers and accountants. Respondents provide cost estimates from among the following options: less than 2%, 2–5%, 5–8%, 8–11%, 11–18%, 18–25%, 25–33%, 33–50%, 50–75% and more than 75% of the value of the business estate. This is the cost of the bankruptcy proceedings. For more information, visit http://www.doingbusiness.org/MethodologySurveys/.
