Striking Off a Company

  • Updated

Overview

You may apply to ACRA to strike off the company's name from the register. ACRA may approve the application if it has reasonable cause to believe that the company is not carrying on business and the company is able to satisfy key criteria for striking off. For more information on the key criteria, click here. 

After 30 days from the approval, if there is no objection, ACRA will publish the name of the company in the Government Gazette.

After 60 days from the initial publication, if there is no objection, ACRA will publish the name of the company in the Government Gazette again and the name of the company will be struck off the register.
