Application for Striking Off LLP

For an LLP with no assets, no liabilities and no business activity, striking off offers a faster route to close it down than a full winding up.

Quick answer

Striking off, filed in Form 24, is a route to close an LLP that hasn't carried on business, or has closed operations, and has no assets or liabilities to settle. It requires all pending Annual Return and Statement of Account filings to be brought up to date, partner consent, and a set of supporting documents before the Registrar removes the LLP's name from the register.

Why choose us

Why striking off applications get rejected

What sets our approach apart.

Pending filings weren't cleared

An application filed while Form 11 or Form 8 is still outstanding is a common reason for rejection or delay.

LLP isn't actually dormant

If the LLP still holds assets or has unpaid liabilities, striking off isn't the right route โ€” winding up is.

Documentation is incomplete

Missing partner consent or an incomplete affidavit can hold up the application at the Registrar's end.
