Service overview
Easy Exit is a simplified route to striking an eligible defunct company from the SECP register; it is not ordinary liquidation.
The underlying corporate action and the filing are separate steps. The requisite corporate resolution, register entry or transaction documentation must be legally effective, and notifications must use the current statutory form.
Which companies qualify for SECP Easy Exit?
Eligible applicants must meet statutory exclusions including no outstanding liabilities and no disqualifying disputes or investigations; listed companies and certain other entities are excluded.
