Requirements for Company Strike Off

To qualify for a strike off, the company must have completely stopped all trading and business activities in Singapore or abroad. This includes halting any sales, services, invoicing, or revenue-generating activities.

✅ Tip: Officially record the cessation of business through board resolutions or directors’ statements to support your strike off application.

Your company must have a clean balance sheet—no assets, no liabilities. All assets must be disposed of or transferred, and all debts or obligations must be settled in full before submitting a strike off application to ACRA.

📌 Prepare final accounts showing the company has no financial position before applying.

To close a company in Singapore, it must not owe any money to government agencies or third parties. This includes:

  • No unpaid corporate taxes (IRAS)
  • No pending GST filings
  • No CPF arrears
  • No late penalty fees or fines

⚠️ IRAS clearance may be required before ACRA approves your company strike off request.

Companies applying for strike off must ensure that all corporate bank accounts are officially closed, including any multi-currency, PayNow, or e-wallet accounts. Open accounts imply potential ongoing business, which disqualifies the company from being struck off.

💡 Keep final bank statements as proof of closure for record keeping.

The company must not be involved in any legal proceedings at the time of application. This includes civil lawsuits, criminal charges, arbitration, or investigations. ACRA will not approve a strike off for companies with unresolved legal issues.

📌 Check with your legal advisors to confirm no active or pending legal matters exist.

Before applying to strike off a company, all directors and shareholders must give their written consent. This ensures that the closure is done fairly, with everyone on board.

📝 Typically, this is documented through a board resolution and shareholder declaration submitted with your ACRA strike off application.

FAQ

A company strike off is the process of formally removing a business entity from ACRA’s register. This method is typically used to close a dormant or inactive company that has ceased operations and met all legal and financial obligations.
To be eligible for strike off, the company must have ceased operations, have no assets or liabilities, and must not be involved in any legal proceedings. Additionally, all shareholders and directors must consent, and the company must have no outstanding tax obligations with IRAS.
The entire strike off process in Singapore usually takes 4 to 6 months, depending on how quickly ACRA and IRAS process the application. This includes a mandatory 60-day public notification period after initial approval by ACRA.
No, ACRA will not approve the strike off if the company has outstanding debts, unpaid taxes, or unresolved liabilities. You must settle all dues and close financial accounts before applying for a company closure through strike off.
Documents typically required include board resolutions, director/shareholder consent, ACRA Form 15, a declaration of solvency, and confirmation that all tax matters have been cleared with IRAS. At HeySara, we handle all document preparation and submission on your behalf.
If your strike off application is rejected, ACRA will usually state the reason, such as incomplete information or outstanding obligations. Our team will help you resolve the issues and resubmit the application if needed or guide you on alternative closure options like winding up.
Yes, once a company is struck off from ACRA’s register, it is considered dissolved and no longer exists as a legal entity. Reinstatement is only possible through a Court Order, and only under exceptional circumstances.
Engaging a professional service like HeySara ensures your strike off application is done correctly and efficiently. We handle the paperwork, deal with ACRA and IRAS, and guide you through the legal process, reducing your risk of rejection or unnecessary delays.
