Company re-domiciliation

Re-domiciliation refers to de-registering a company in one jurisdiction and re-registering in another jurisdiction without losing its continuity. It has the advantage of continuity : while it is amending its registered address, the company doesn’t cease to exist; there is no interruption or disruption to business, and the company keeps its original date of incorporation. In a nutshell, the company continues to exist but has simply migrated to another jurisdiction!

Why do that ? simply because the original reasons why a company was incorporated in a particular jurisdiction might no longer be valid, and another jurisdiction may present advantages that the original jurisdiction does not.

It is clearly easier for a company to apply to continue in another jurisdiction than to wind-up the said company and transfer each individual asset, corporate contract or item of property to a new company.

The process assuming that both jurisdictions allow the continuation procedure, the company would have to submit documents such as a special resolution confirming the company’s intention to migrate, the articles of continuation, a director’s solvency statement and a registered corporate secretary and tax agent consent letter. Other documents may be required depending on the complexity of the case, but generally, the whole process can be completed in about 30 days. Should you wish to re-domicile your company, please contact ATYA. We have over 10+ years of experience.

Company Winding up

A formal Dissolution is the legal process by which a company ceases to exist. To voluntary dissolve an International Business Company (IBC) it is necessary to follow all the following steps.

To start the Dissolution process which may take about 6 months (or more based on complexity), a declaration of solvency and proof that the company does not have any asset or liabilities will be required.

Thus if an IBC does not have any assets or liabilities, it will have to submit:

  • Bank statements / Closure letter from the bank.
  • Declaration signed by the directors / Beneficial Owner that the company does not have any asset nor liabilities.
  • Resolution of Dissolution signed by the director(s) / shareholder(s) of the company, which will also approve appointment of the liquidator.

The above documents must be sent to the company secretary within 14 days of passing of the resolution, who will prepare and submit a request, together with extract of the resolution and plan of dissolution to ACRA.

ACRA will register the dissolution and thereafter publish a notice in the local news paper within 15 days of the registration .of the dissolution. Winding will be gazetted by ACRA.
