Voluntary Company Strike-Off

Sometimes business owners need to close their companies. For a short period of time or indefinitely, they need to take a break from their entrepreneurial career. In this case, not plenty of available options are available. While your Google search results are full of advice around how to register a limited company, understanding how to close it needs some more time. So let’s dive into details learning how long and how much it takes – company closure service by Chern & Co.

Types of Company Closure

There are two “types” of Irish company closure. These are the windup (voluntary closure) and insolvency (involuntary closure). The voluntary closure is the process of winding up the company so it no longer exists by using its assets to pay its debts. A liquidator is a person chosen to shut down a company. Insolvency is a process of forced company closure initiated by a court. The High Court appoints the liquidator and supervises the liquidation process.

How to Close a Company in Ireland

A company that has never traded or ceased to trade can proceed to a voluntary strike-off. The required steps and conditions for a Voluntary company shut down in Ireland are the following:

Make sure you paid off all the debts (if there are/were any);
Make sure all annual returns and accounts are up to date;
The amount of any assets of the company must not exceed €150
Prepare a director’s statement that a company ceased trading or has never traded;
Directors’ and shareholders’ consent for company closure;
