Get your company deregistered without costly mistakes. We handle the compliance so you don't restart the process.
Once all required documents are signed, we process your deregistration promptly, helping you close your company without unnecessary delays.
We manage the entire ASIC process on your behalf. This includes lodging the deregistration and ensuring your ABN and TFN are cancelled correctly, so there are no loose ends.
We prepare and manage all required legal documentation needed to deregister your company, so you don’t have to navigate the paperwork yourself.
Sign ASIC Form 362 to authorise Lawpath to act on your company's behalf with ASIC.
We review your ASIC fee records and prepare all required documents for company members to review and sign.
Once signed, we pay the deregistration fee and lodge everything with ASIC. Your company is then formally deregistered.
Yes. ASIC charges a government fee to deregister a company, along with any outstanding government fees attached to the company.
Lawpath’s fee includes the ASIC deregistration fee, plus our service fee to prepare and lodge your deregistration correctly.
Once we receive all signed documents, we process your application within 24 hours.
ASIC will then mark your company as Strike-Off Action in Progress. It can take up to two months for ASIC to complete its review and update your company status to Deregistered.
We’ll prepare the required Directors’ Resolution and Members’ Resolution for you to review and sign.
These documents are lodged with ASIC and can also be kept as proof of deregistration.
No. Once your company is deregistered, the ABN is automatically cancelled.
Your company tax file number will also be marked as inactive with the ATO.
If a business name is linked to a cancelled ABN, it can no longer be used.
Business names can be:
Transferred to a new owner
Cancelled immediately
Left to expire at the end of the registration period
If not renewed, the business name will be automatically cancelled after two months.
No. Your company must settle all outstanding lodgements liabilities before ASIC will approve deregistration. If you attempt to deregister with outstanding lodgements or debts, your company will then need to be reinstated (which costs extra), debts settled, and the deregistration process started again. This adds significant time and cost.
We’ll discuss your position upfront so you understand what needs to happen before we proceed.
