About this service

Closing a company that has stopped doing business

Striking off is a way to close a company that is no longer operating, without going through liquidation. ACRA removes the company from the register once the application is approved.

The company generally needs to have stopped trading, settled its debts and tax matters, and have no outstanding assets or liabilities before applying.

Questions

Company Strike-Off: common questions.

Is strike-off the same as liquidation?

No. Strike-off is simpler and suits companies with no assets or liabilities. Liquidation is used when debts or assets need to be dealt with.

Do I need to close the bank account first?

Generally yes. Remaining assets should be dealt with before applying.

Can a struck-off company be restored?

In some cases, yes, through an application to ACRA or the court.
