Company Deregistration

​Deregistration of Limited Company / Closing Company

Deregistration is a streamlined process for dissolving a defunct and solvent private limited company. In contrast to the liquidation procedure, deregistration offers a convenient and cost-effective method for company dissolution. According to section 750 of the Companies Ordinance, a private limited company may apply for deregistration, provided that it meets the specified conditions outlined in the Companies Ordinance. At Biz & Bird, we can lend our expertise to help you prepare all relevant documents in relation to deregistration and attend filings of all required documents with the Companies Registry.
