Deregistration

A Hong Kong limited company (included Dormant Company) may apply for deregistration under section 291AA of the Companies Ordinance, provided that

If the company still has liabilities, it may still apply for deregistration if those liabilities.

We provide a comprehensive deregistration service which includes drafting deregistration documents and minutes, applying for a notice of no objection to deregistration and filing a deregistration with the Registrar of Companies, which takes approximately 6 - 9 months.

  • The company has not commenced business or has ceased business three months prior to the date of application for deregistration
  • The company has no outstanding debts
  • The parent company or a related company; or a promoter, director, shareholder, etc. is responsible for the discharge of the debt
  • The creditor waives recovery of the debt, for example, if the creditor consists of a parent company, a related company, a promoter, a director, a shareholder, etc., and the creditor signs a consent waiving recovery of the debt.
