§ 6713 Corporate Asset Distribution Rules

• •When a company is closing down, it must pay all its debts first before giving out any leftover money or stuff.
• •If a court is involved in closing the company, they must wait until the court says it's okay to give out the leftover money or stuff.
• •Some special things the company owns might be given out even if not all debts are paid, but only if those things can't be taken to pay debts.

A small toy company is shutting down because it’s not making enough money. It sells all its toys and buildings to pay back the money it owes to banks and workers.

After paying everyone it owes, the company has some extra money left. The bosses can now share this extra money with the owners of the company. But if a court is helping close the company, they have to wait until the court says it’s okay. Also, if the company has some special toys that can’t be sold to pay debts (like toys promised to charity), those can be given out even if some bills aren’t fully paid yet.
