There are no outstanding debts or liabilities.

The company is not involved in legal proceedings or regulatory investigations.

The company has no remaining assets or pending transactions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Company Strike-Off FAQs
Find answers to common questions about company strike-off and deregistration.
What is a company strike-off?
A company strike-off is a formal procedure to remove an eligible company from the official corporate register. It may be available where the business has ceased operations and satisfies the relevant authority's conditions. It is different from liquidation, and the appropriate procedure depends on the company's circumstances.
What are the eligibility requirements for strike-off?
Eligibility varies by jurisdiction. Typical considerations include whether the company has ceased business, has outstanding liabilities or assets, is involved in legal proceedings, and has met applicable filing and tax requirements. We can help review the relevant requirements before an application is prepared.
How long does the strike-off process take?
Processing times depend on the jurisdiction, the company's compliance status, statutory notice or objection periods, and any questions raised by the authorities. We can discuss the applicable stages and expected time frame after reviewing the company details.
Can a company with outstanding debts be struck off?
Outstanding debts or other liabilities can prevent a voluntary strike-off or make a different closure procedure necessary. Creditors' rights must be respected, and obligations should not be ignored. The available options depend on the company's financial position and local rules.
Do we need to file final tax returns?
Some jurisdictions require final returns, tax clearances, outstanding accounts, or other regulatory filings before closure. The exact requirements depend on where the company is registered and its activities. Any outstanding obligations should be checked as part of the eligibility review.
What happens after the company is struck off?
The authority updates the company's register status and may issue or publish confirmation, depending on local procedures. Certain record-retention duties, historical liabilities or restoration provisions may continue to apply after strike-off.
Can a struck-off company be restored?
Restoration may be possible in some jurisdictions, subject to statutory deadlines, the reason for restoration, fees and potentially a court or registry application. It is not automatic, so the relevant jurisdiction's rules must be reviewed.
Which jurisdictions do you support?
Available strike-off services depend on the jurisdiction and the company's circumstances. Contact Worldwide Fellow with your jurisdiction of incorporation and current company status so we can confirm whether assistance is available.
