Strike Off Your LLPWhat is an Application for Striking Off an LLP?
Striking off is the process of removing an LLP's name from the register of the Registrar of Companies so that it is closed. An LLP that is not carrying on any business or operation can apply to strike off its name by filing Form 24, supported by the partners' consent, affidavits, and a statement of accounts. It is the most common and cost-effective way to shut down a dormant LLP.
Before striking off, the LLP must usually clear its pending annual filings and settle its liabilities. Striking off in Form 24 is one route to closing an LLP; the other is the more involved voluntary winding-up process. We assess your case and handle the application end to end.
Who Can Apply for Striking Off?
- LLPs that have stopped carrying on business or operations.
- LLPs that never commenced business after incorporation.
- Dormant LLPs accumulating penalties on unfiled returns.
- Partners who wish to formally close an unused LLP.
- LLPs being wound down as part of a restructuring.
