Voluntary Strike – Off is one way in which you may formally wind up a company that you have registered in Ireland.
A company that ceases to trade, or has never traded, has no assets in excess of €150 and which has no outstanding creditors can request that the Registrar strike-off the company for the voluntary strike-off application.
