§ 6717 Corporate Asset Distribution Rules

• •When a company closes and gives out its stuff, it can give money, property, or other things to people.
• •The stuff can be given all at once or in small parts over time, as long as it’s fair and follows the company’s rules.
• •The company must give out the stuff as soon as it can, but only after selling things in a way that’s good for everyone involved.

A small toy company goes out of business and has leftover toys, cash, and a van.

The company can give the cash, toys, or van to the people who own part of the company. They can split it up fairly, like giving some toys now and the rest later, or sell everything first and then share the money. They have to do it quickly but in a way that’s fair for everyone.
