Company Strike Off

Reach out to us

Striking Off A Company In Singapore

Company strike off is the formal process of closing a business and removing it from ACRA's register. It is commonly used when a company has ceased operations, fulfilled its purpose, or is no longer required. Once successfully struck off, the company will cease to exist as a legal entity.

Conditions For Company Strike Off

A company may generally be eligible for strike off if:

  • The company has ceased business operations
  • The company has no assets or liabilities
  • The company is not involved in any legal proceedings
  • The company has no outstanding obligations with ACRA or other government agencies
  • The company has no outstanding tax liabilities with IRAS
  • The company has no outstanding bank loans or borrowings
  • The company's officers have no outstanding ACRA enforcement matters

If the company is GST registered, the GST registration should be cancelled before submitting the strike off application.

Company Strike Off Process

1

Submit the strike off application to ACRA.

Once strike off is approved, a Striking Off Notice will be sent to the company's registered office, directors, associated addresses, and IRAS within 14 days of receiving the application.

2

ACRA notifies all relevant parties

The Striking Off Notice grants a one-month period for individuals to nominate form to the application if needed.

3

A public notice is published

Once the notice period is concluded, ACRA publishes in the Government Gazette, indicating the intention to strike off the company in two months. Relevant parties can still raise objections in this period.

4

Final Notice Issued

After two months, a final notice will be issued, confirming the company's strike off and noting its deletion from the register.

Frequently Asked Questions

A corporate secretary ensures your company meets Singapore's ongoing regulatory obligations. This includes maintaining statutory registers, filing annual returns with ACRA, preparing board and shareholder resolutions, organising AGM documentation, and advising directors on corporate governance requirements.
Yes. Under the Singapore Companies Act, all private limited companies must appoint a Company Secretary within 6 months of incorporation. The secretary must be a Singapore resident with the relevant experience to carry out the role.
No. The requirement applies to all Singapore-incorporated companies regardless of size. Even a one-person business must appoint a company secretary and maintain compliance with ACRA regulations.
Core duties include:
  • Ensuring ongoing compliance with ACRA regulations
  • Preparing and filing statutory documents and annual returns
  • Maintaining company registers and statutory records
  • Organising board meetings, AGMs, and related documentation
  • Advising directors on corporate governance matters
A company secretary must be a Singapore resident — citizen, Permanent Resident, or Employment Pass holder. For private limited companies, specific professional qualifications are not required, but relevant experience is expected. Public companies must appoint a professionally qualified secretary.
In a company with more than one director, one of them may serve as the company secretary. However, if there is only a sole director, that person cannot simultaneously hold both positions.
Fees vary depending on the scope of services required. Basic corporate secretarial packages typically cover annual return filing, maintenance of statutory registers, and routine compliance tasks. Contact CWM for a clear, upfront quote tailored to your company's needs.
To change your company secretary:
  • Obtain a resignation letter from the current secretary
  • Pass a board resolution appointing the new secretary
  • File the change with ACRA via BizFile+
CWM can manage the transition process and ensure a seamless handover of all statutory records.
Outsourcing to a professional service provider saves time, reduces the risk of missed deadlines or regulatory penalties, and ensures your company's statutory records are accurate and up to date. It also frees your team to focus on running and growing the business.
