Introduction
Striking off, often referred to as voluntary striking off or closure, is a legal process wherein a company takes proactive measures to wind up its affairs and dissolve its corporate identity. It involves submitting an application to the relevant regulatory authorities, typically the Registrar of Companies (RoC), to officially remove the company from the official register. This process is an alternative to the more intricate and formal process of liquidation.
Why do companies go for striking off:
- Business Cessation
- Simplification of Structure
- Non-Operational Status
- Owner's Decision
Implications of not going for Striking Off
The following are implications of not getting your name stricken off
Administrative Burden
The company would still need to manage administrative tasks, such as holding annual general meetings, even if there are no active business operations.
Potential Legal Consequences
The company may face legal consequences for non-compliance with regulatory obligations, which can negatively impact the reputation of the business and its stakeholders.
Continued Compliance Obligations
Failure to strike off a company results in the continuation of statutory compliance obligations, including filing annual returns, financial statements, and other regulatory requirements. This may lead to penalties and legal consequences.
Liability Continuation
The liability of directors and stakeholders may persist as long as the company remains registered. This could potentially expose them to legal actions, especially if the company has outstanding debts or unresolved legal matters. Hence it always best practice to Strike off the company name.
