About Closeday
We've been where you are. Between us, we've closed companies through voluntary liquidation, compulsory dissolution, and yes - even insolvent liquidation. Some were clean wind-downs to pursue new opportunities. Others were harder calls.
Every time, the process felt harder than it needed to be. Confusing options. Opaque pricing. The nagging sense that you were on your own.
So we built what we wished existed: the first new company-closing software since 1980 - integrated with a service to match.
THE PROBLEM
The closing industry is outdated
- Legacy systems. No one has built new closing software in over 40 years. What exists was designed for the professionals - not for you. You're left on the outside: paperwork, phone calls, and waiting.
- Hidden fees. Providers who benefit from dragging things out or keeping you confused about your options.
- Uncertainty. No clear answer on what it will cost, how long it will take, or what to expect.
Business owners deserve better. You deserve to know what it will cost, how long it will take, and what to expect - before you commit to anything.
What we believe
Closing a company isn't failure - it's the end of one chapter.
Whether you're retiring, moving on to something new, or making a difficult decision about a struggling business, closing properly is the responsible thing to do. It protects you and your family, treats your employees fairly, and lets everyone move forward without loose ends.
We don't think you should feel ashamed of that. And we don't think the process should punish you for making the right call.
How we're different
Transparent price
You'll know exactly what it costs before you commit - no surprises, no hidden fees. We'll explain your options clearly - closing with our help, closing on your own, or not closing at all - and recommend what's actually right for your situation.
Simple and online
We're the only ones who built the software and deliver the service - a single platform where you and the professionals closing your company work side by side. Everything happens online, you see progress at every step, and we handle the heavy lifting. You only step in when the law requires it.
Genuine expertise
Our founders have built award-winning products that simplify complex legal processes. Our service team is led by a licensed insolvency practitioner with 18 years of experience, trained at the firm whose founder authored the law that governs company closings in the UK.

Whether you're closing a solvent company to move on or winding down an insolvent one responsibly, we're here to guide you through it - with technology and service built together, from scratch, for exactly this purpose.
Our leadership team
Founders
Christian Gabriel
CEO
Founder and CEO of Capdesk, which he grew from idea to acquisition. Before that, built and ran several earlier ventures - some successful, some that needed to close. That experience is why he started Closeday: he's been through the process himself, and knew it could be better.
Mikkel Boje
COO
10 years making complex legal concepts feel simple. At Capdesk, led product, design, and marketing - explaining equity schemes to founders who'd never heard of them. Has closed companies of his own too. At Closeday, he's responsible for transparency and your end-to-end experience: from your first visit, through the closing, to checking in afterwards.
Christian Hølmer
CTO
Product builder behind Billetto and several other ventures. Has founded companies that scaled - and others that needed to close. He's seen voluntary liquidation, insolvent liquidation, and everything in between. At Closeday, he's responsible for simplicity - making the closing process genuinely easy to use.
Martin Damhus
CPO
Learns domains faster than the lawyers. At Capdesk, mastered equity law, EMI schemes, and investment agreements to build a seamless product-and-service experience - working alongside Christian and Mikkel. At Closeday, he does the same: a seamlessly integrated solution that's complete, compliant, and fast.
