Company dismissal
Company strike off, also known as Dissolution, is the process of removing a company from the Registrar.

Many people desire to dissolve a company when they have met their business objectives, or they no longer want to use a corporation for whatever reason. Setting up a company appears to be straightforward, but when you dissolve it, you must complete all of your obligations to the incorporated jurisdiction. Depending on the jurisdiction, the process can be both complex and time-consuming.

However, in jurisdictions that need a tax declaration, such as Hong Kong, Singapore, the United States, or the United Kingdom, the procedure is far more involved; an accounting and auditing report, as well as other relevant papers, must be filed to the Registrar prior to dissolution. For additional details, please see the Company Strike Off Processing or contact us.
