Company Winding-Up & Closure
Exit cleanly — voluntary winding-up, striking off and de-registration handled so no liability follows you afterward.
When a company has served its purpose, stopped trading or needs to be closed, simply abandoning it is a costly mistake — annual filing obligations and penalties continue to accrue against a dormant company and its directors until it is formally closed.
We advise on the right route — voluntary winding-up, an application to strike the company off the register, or a court-supervised process where required — and manage the SECP and FBR steps so the closure is clean and final.

Common questions.
Can I just stop filing instead of closing the company?
No. A dormant company keeps accruing filing obligations and penalties against it and its directors until it is formally wound up or struck off.
What is the difference between winding-up and striking off?
Striking off removes a non-operating company from the register through a simpler application, while winding-up is a fuller process for settling affairs. We advise which suits your situation.
Do I need to settle debts before closing?
Outstanding liabilities must generally be addressed as part of a proper closure. We guide you through clearing them before de-registration.
