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
