Canceling a business in Singapore, whether through liquidation or striking off, brings significant legal and financial responsibilities. Novo Solution provides expert guidance to company directors in fulfilling these obligations. In liquidation scenarios, we assist directors in providing accurate financial disclosures and support in asset allocation.
Our experts ensure compliance with ACRA’s requirements for striking-off procedures.
Understanding that dissolving a business does not absolve directors and shareholders of past liabilities, Novo Solution emphasizes the importance of professional legal advice to navigate these complex proceedings with clarity and compliance.
Novo Solution provides a streamlined approach for small or inactive Singapore-based companies seeking to close down. To qualify for striking off by ACRA, specific criteria must be met, including cessation of operations, clearance of financial obligations, resolution of tax matters with IRAS, absence of legal proceedings, and unanimous shareholder consent.
Our experts ensure your company’s records are up-to-date and compliant with ACRA’s requirements for a smooth striking-off process.
Our team assists in preparing and submitting documents to the Corporate Regulatory Authority Singapore (ACRA), guiding you through the entire process. Typically, the review takes about seven working days, followed by a four-month objection period.
If there are no objections, ACRA finalizes the striking-off. The entire process can be completed in 5 to 6 months.
After the company is struck off, former officials must retain crucial documents for five years and might face liabilities from the company’s active period. Novo Solution offers guidance on these post-closure obligations, ensuring compliance and a thorough understanding of all regulatory requirements.
In summary, Novo Solution simplifies the striking-off process for Singapore-based companies, ensuring a compliant and efficient closure aligned with legal and regulatory standards.
In Singapore, Novo Solution offers expertise in both voluntary and court-ordered liquidation. Voluntary liquidation suits financially stable companies ending operations strategically, starting with a Declaration of Solvency.
Conversely, court-ordered liquidation applies to insolvent companies and is initiated by a judicial decision.
The liquidation process is a structured and pivotal phase in a company’s lifecycle. Novo Solution is committed to guiding Singapore-based businesses through this complex journey with expertise and precision.
- Appointment of Liquidator: Initiates the process, focusing on a thorough assessment of the company’s assets and liabilities.
- Asset Evaluation and Creditor Claims: Managing and settling claims from creditors, ensuring fair and legal distribution.
- Asset Distribution: Allocating any remaining assets among shareholders after settling debts.
- Timeline: Varies based on the company’s complexity, generally ranging from several months to over a year.
Our approach ensures that the liquidation process is conducted systematically, respecting both the legal framework and the specific needs of your business, within a realistic and communicated timeline.
Finalizing the liquidation of a company involves several critical steps, each requiring careful attention and compliance. Novo Solution offers comprehensive support to navigate these final stages.
- Final Account Preparation: Detailed financial statements are drawn up to reflect the company’s status at closure.
- Last General Meeting: A conclusive meeting to discuss the liquidation outcome.
- ACRA Reporting: Filing the final report with the Corporate Regulatory Authority, marking the completion of the process.
With Novo Solution, businesses can rest assured that the closure of their operations is handled with the utmost professionalism and adherence to Singapore’s legal standards, culminating in a thorough and compliant conclusion of the liquidation process.
