Remove a company

A company is removed from the Solomon Islands register when a notice is registered by the Registrar stating that the company is removed.

A company may be removed from the register for one of the following reasons:

  • the company fails to file its annual return within a period of 6 months after the date allocated; or
  • the company has been put into liquidation, and the prescribed documents confirming that the liquidation of the company has been completed have not been sent or delivered to the Registrar within 6 months after the completion of the liquidation; or
  • there is sent or delivered to the Registrar a request that the company be removed from the Solomon Islands register on either of the grounds specified in section 141 made by—
    • a shareholder or any other person authorised to make the request by a special resolution of shareholders entitled to vote and voting on the question; or
    • a director or any other person, if the rules of the company so require or permit; or
  • a liquidator sends or delivers to the Registrar the prescribed documents confirming that the liquidation of the company has been completed.
  • Any company which fails to re-register within the re-registration period will also be removed from the register.

The procedure for removal is described in Part 10 of the Companies Act, a copy of which you can find here.
