Operational exit and demobilisation
Leaving Iraq properly is a project. Left to drift, it becomes an open-ended liability and a lost archive.
What you receive
- A dated wind-down plan and a closeout register
- An asset inventory reconciled against the register with variances explained
- An indexed archive handed to head office rather than left in Iraq
- A final operational report evidencing what was closed and recovered
Exits rarely fail dramatically. They fail by attrition: a lease nobody terminated, a supplier still invoicing, equipment in a compound nobody visits, and records that existed on a laptop that went home with somebody.
We run demobilisation as a dated plan with a closeout register, and we finish with a written report showing what was closed, what was recovered and what was handed back.
The wind-down plan
- Wind-down plan and calendar with a dated sequence
- A closeout register tracking every open item to completion
- A single accountable coordinator through to the final report
- Regular status reporting to head office during the exit
Premises, assets and equipment
- Office closure, premises hand-back and utilities termination
- Asset inventory against the register, with variances explained
- Equipment removal, storage or shipment
- Asset disposal, sale or transfer with records
- Vehicle return, sale or transfer, and fleet documentation closed
- Accommodation closure and residential lease termination
Suppliers, people and records
- Supplier contract terminations and final reconciliations
- Employee exit administration and final documentation
- Bank account closure support
- Records archiving, indexing and handover to head office
- Final operational report with everything closed listed and evidenced
Termination notices, employee settlements, supplier disputes, tax and social-security clearances, and branch closure, liquidation and deregistration are legal and regulatory matters for Salt & Associates.
Who it is suitable for
- Projects reaching completion
- Operations consolidating or withdrawing from a governorate
- Companies closing a site while keeping a Baghdad presence
- Organisations whose exit has already stalled
Where this touches legal work. Formal closure and deregistration remain with Salt & Associates, as do terminations and settlements, supplier notices and disputes, and tax and social-security clearances. Salt Corporate Services handles the physical and operational exit and the record.
Common questions
Can you close the company for us?
Branch closure, liquidation and deregistration go to Salt & Associates. We run the operational exit alongside them — premises, assets, suppliers, records and the final report — and running both in parallel saves months.
What if we want to keep a small presence?
That is common. We close what is closing and move the remainder onto a virtual office or a small desk, so the presence continues without the cost base.
How long does a demobilisation take?
It depends on leases, supplier notice periods and what has to be shipped. The plan gives you a dated sequence based on the actual notice periods in your contracts.
