Section 897 provides that a company may apply to the Registrar to be struck off the register and be dissolved.

A company may apply to the Registrar to be struck off the register and be dissolved if:

• It is dormant or no longer trading, and has no assets or liabilities; or
• If the shareholders decide that they no longer wish to continue with the company and would like it struck off the register.

However, before you deregister a limited company, all statutory compliance should be up to date.

A company cannot apply to be struck off if it is the subject, or proposed subject, of:

• A voluntary arrangement under the insolvency Act which has not been concluded
• Under administration
• Under liquidation- voluntary or by the Court which has not been concluded.
