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.
