Overview
If a company is no longer carrying on business, voluntarily striking it off (Form STK-2) removes it from the register cleanly — which is far better than letting it lapse and accumulate non-compliance. There are eligibility conditions and steps that have to be done in the right order.
CapEasy checks whether your company is eligible for strike-off, settles the prerequisites (board and member approvals, the required statements and clearances), and files the application correctly so the closure goes through.
Who it’s for
- Founders winding down a company that has stopped operating
- Companies that were incorporated but never commenced business
- Owners who want a clean, compliant exit rather than an inactive shell
Eligibility & requirements
- The company has either not commenced business or has not been carrying on business for the qualifying period
- Bank accounts closed and liabilities settled, with the required statements
- Board and member (special resolution) approvals for the closure
How CapEasy handles it
- Assess eligibility for voluntary strike-off and flag any pending compliance to clear first
- Obtain the board and member approvals and prepare the statement of accounts and affidavits
- Prepare and file the STK-2 application with the required attachments
- Track the application through to the company being struck off
Documents you’ll typically need
- Board and special resolutions approving the closure
- Statement of accounts and indemnity/affidavit from directors
- Proof of closed bank accounts and settlement of liabilities
