Company Deregistraion & Liquidation

If you have no plan to resume business of a company that has never been operated or has ceased operation, we suggest you to dissolve the company to avoid lawsuit brought by government.

Deregistraion

Conditions and requirements for deregistration

  • Any local private companies which are defunct and solvent 
  • All the members of the company agree to the deregistration
  • The company has not commenced business, or has not been in operation during the 3 months immediately before the application
  • The company has no outstanding liabilities
  • The company’s or its any subsidiary's assets do not consist of any immovable property situate in Hong Kong

Note: May take well up to six months after the filing of application for the Companies Registry to de-register your company.

Liquidation / Winding-Up

If you cannot fulfill the conditions of deregistraion, you are requested to dissolve the company by winding-up.

Voluntary winding-up
  • By the members, the company should able to pay-off its creditors when wound-up.

Do You Know?

  1. Before you file the application for deregistration, you should close the corporate bank account and also make sure that there is no outstanding accounts receivable.
  2. It is a bad idea to put the company aside and do not pay annual fee, as any company failed to comply the annual filing requirement will lead to a huge amount of penalty or even be prosecuted by government of Hong Kong.
