Business Dissolving and Closing Services

When a business dissolves or shuts down, the proper handling of IT applications, assets, and intellectual property (IP) is essential to ensure security, compliance, and smooth transitions.

Zarpra specializes in providing comprehensive IT asset, application, and intellectual property shutdown services to guide your organization through the process of winding down your IT infrastructure, protecting sensitive information, and ensuring that all digital assets are properly disposed of or transitioned.

What are IT Asset and Intellectual Property Shutdown Services?

IT asset and intellectual property shutdown services refer to the structured process of decommissioning, securing, and disposing of technology systems, applications, data, and intellectual property when a business is closing its operations. This includes managing everything from software licenses, hardware, and data to intellectual property like patents, trademarks, and proprietary systems. Zarpra helps you ensure that your IT resources are managed properly, data is secured, and compliance requirements are met, allowing for a smooth and secure business closure.
