Offshore Company Restoration
Restoration starts with the company’s actual registry status and history. We coordinate a case review before confirming whether an administrative or court route may be available.

Company Strike-Off & Closure Coordination
Closing a company requires a route suited to its status, assets and liabilities. We coordinate information and local-provider instructions so the proposed closure is assessed before action.
A.I.W coordinates the agreed corporate-service scope. Locally reserved functions are carried out by the appropriate registered agent, authority or qualified professional. Acceptance, fees and delivery steps are confirmed in writing; bank, registry and court outcomes are not guaranteed.
Choose The Appropriate Closure Route
Strike-off, dissolution and liquidation have different legal consequences. Whether a company is solvent, holds assets, has creditors or has regulatory obligations affects the decision. Obtain local legal advice where necessary.
When Closure Should Be Considered
A dormant entity, completed project or discontinued structure may no longer be needed. First check whether it still holds a bank account, contract, investment, intellectual property or claim. Lack of trading does not prove there are no obligations.
What Must Be Resolved
Collect owner/director approval evidence and a current asset/liability position. Review tax, reporting, staff, bank and contract matters with the relevant advisers. A closure engagement does not automatically handle every obligation outside the registry.
Common Issues
Stopping annual payments is not a managed closure process. It can leave status, assets and liabilities unresolved. Transferring assets or distributing cash may have separate legal and tax consequences; these need review before execution.
Documents To Prepare
- Company records and registry status
- Reason for closure and authorised instructions
- Current accounts, assets, debts and creditor information
- Bank accounts, contracts, licences and employee details
- Outstanding annual fees, filings and tax matters
How The Process Works
01
Review The Position
Establish the entity’s status and unresolved affairs.
02
Select The Route
Confirm the appropriate process with the local agent or adviser.
03
Complete Prerequisites
Obtain approvals and address the agreed outstanding matters.
04
Record The Outcome
Obtain official evidence and agree records retention and follow-up.
These are workflow stages, not promised turnaround times. Timing and fees are confirmed after the records and applicable route are clear.
Continuing Responsibilities
Retain documents after closure as required. Confirm bank closure, final tax or reporting work and who holds historic records. Do not assume removal from a register resolves claims in another country.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I close a company simply by not renewing it?
Non-payment can trigger adverse status changes, but it is not a substitute for reviewing a lawful closure route.
Is strike-off suitable for a company with debts?
It may not be. Solvency and creditor issues must be reviewed by an appropriately qualified adviser.
