Business Setup
Close an LLP – Strike Off with Form 24
LLP no longer in use? Close your LLP with Form 24 so you stop paying penalties for missed annual filings on a business that has stopped.
- 3–6 months for the ROC to strike off
- Pending filings cleared
- Form 24 filing
- Follow-up until closure
Who can close an LLP with Form 24?
An LLP that has not carried on business for at least a year (or never started) and has no assets or liabilities can apply to the ROC to have its name struck off using Form 24.
Before filing
- File all pending Form 8 (statement of accounts and solvency) and Form 11 (annual return).
- Settle liabilities and close the bank account.
- Obtain the consent of all partners.
Why close an inactive LLP?
An LLP keeps owing annual filings even if it does nothing, and late fees on Forms 8 and 11 add up daily. Closing it properly ends those obligations and protects the designated partners.
Our service
We clear pending filings, prepare the affidavits, indemnity and statement of accounts, file Form 24 and follow up until the LLP is struck off. Closing a company instead? See close a private limited company.
