Start with the decision, not the product
Strike-off eligibility and clearing liabilities should be assessed before paying for closure.
This service is offered to inactive companies and LLPs. That audience description is not a legal eligibility test. Identify your actual objective, such as a suitable business structure, reliable reporting, a specific registration or a response to a notice.
The facts your adviser needs
Prepare financials, bank status, creditor details, ownership consents and prior compliance records.
Explain your entity, activities, locations, relevant period and any planned changes. Also disclose existing applications, filings or advisers so duplicated work and conflicting instructions can be avoided.
Ask about alternatives and trade-offs
Ask whether a narrower engagement, a different structure or better internal records would meet the same objective. Compare ongoing obligations as well as the first task. If a requirement is statutory, ask the adviser to identify the applicable official rule and relevant exceptions.
An inactive company can still have obligations; stopping transactions does not automatically close it.
Make the readiness assessment concrete
Assess the permitted closure route, address prerequisites and submit the supported application.
Separate items you can resolve internally from those needing professional judgement or external approval. Record the dependencies and consider whether your team has enough capacity to maintain the resulting process.
Choose a next step you can verify
What prevents strike-off in our case and which registrations survive company closure?
Separate historical filing cleanup, tax closure, labour registrations and insolvency advice.
Request a written recommendation that explains assumptions and the proposed scope. Where current eligibility or regulatory interpretation is uncertain, obtain case-specific advice before spending money or acting.
