Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, in order to deregister your company with ASIC, all outstanding fees need to be paid. This may include previous missed annual reviews and late penalty fees.
Once we receive the signed documentation, we will process your application within 24 hours. ASIC will mark your company as ‘Strike-Off Action in Progress,’ and the ASIC deregistration process will commence. It can take up to two months for ASIC to review your company details and update your company’s status to ‘Deregistered.’
Lawpath will provide you with Directors’ Resolution and Members’ Resolution to be signed. These documents will be used for your ASIC application and can be utilised as proof of deregistration.
