Company status
What does 'in strike-off' or 'in removal' mean?
Updated 2026-06
In strike-off, or in removal, means the company is in the process of being taken off the register, often after it stopped filing or asked to be removed. The company has not gone yet, but it is on its way out, so any new commitment needs care.
Key facts
- It is a step toward removal, not removal itself.
- It can sometimes be stopped or reversed before it completes.
- Treat it as a reason to confirm the position before you proceed.
