Enterprises need to submit documents such as the "Application for Dissolution of Society" to the local legal or tax bureau, as well as the original signed by the president and two or more witnesses. After submitting the application, the legal or tax bureau will conduct a review to confirm whether the company has outstanding debts or unresolved issues.
