Striking Off a company in Singapore

Striking off is a simpler and less costly process for closing a company in Singapore, primarily applicable to solvent companies that have ceased trading and have no outstanding debts. It involves an application to the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA) to remove the company’s name from the register. However, strict eligibility criteria must be met, and the company must fulfill certain conditions, such as having no ongoing legal proceedings and having settled all its affairs. While striking off offers a streamlined approach to dissolution, it’s important to ensure all requirements are satisfied to avoid any complications or objections during the process.
