Striking Off Company
When a business has fulfilled its commercial objectives, completed an internal restructuring, or ceased active operations, formal striking off provides a permanent, legally clean exit. JJV Lucky Stars Consultants guides company directors through every stage of ACRA striking off, ensuring full IRAS tax clearance and total discharge of statutory liabilities.
Allowing a dormant company to drift without proper de-registration triggers accumulating ACRA late filing penalties, director debarment, and statutory summons. Our specialists handle all compliance requirements to ensure an orderly, stress-free company dissolution.
