Dormant Status Filing — Formally Park an Inactive Company
If your company has no significant accounting transactions, apply for dormant status to reduce compliance burden while keeping the company legally alive.
Why founders choose this over doing it themselves.
Reduced compliance burden
Fewer ongoing filing requirements while the company stays dormant.
Keeps the company legally alive
A dormant company retains its name and registration, unlike a struck-off one.
Reactivate when ready
You can apply to become active again once the business resumes.
Who is eligible
- Companies with no significant accounting transaction in the last 2 financial years
- Not a company under investigation or with pending litigation
- Must have filed up-to-date annual returns before applying for dormant status
