Terms and Conditions

Last updated: 13 November 2026

CloseACompany.ie is operated by The Startup Shop Limited, a licensed Trust or Company Service Provider (licence APP/1292/2021). These terms summarise how our company closure service works.

After you order, we confirm the plan, the fixed fee and any extra work in writing before we start. If anything here differs from that confirmation, the written confirmation applies.

Our service

  • An eligibility check of the company's CRO filing history and tax position, within one working day of your order.
  • Voluntary strike-off: applying for Revenue's letter of no objection, preparing the special resolution, placing the newspaper advert and filing Form H15 with the CRO.
  • On the strike-off and tax deregistration plan, cancelling the company's tax registrations with Revenue.
  • Where agreed and quoted, outstanding annual returns, accounts, final tax returns and other add-ons.

Fees and payment

  • Our fees are fixed and exclude VAT at 23%. The voluntary strike-off fee of €199.99 includes the newspaper advert. The strike-off and tax deregistration fee is €299.99.
  • The CRO filing fee for Form H15 (€15) is charged at cost. CRO annual return fees and late filing penalties are paid by the company.
  • You don't pay when you order. We invoice once the eligibility check confirms the company qualifies, or once you accept a quote for work needed first. Our engagement begins, and work starts, when that invoice is paid.
  • Add-ons and liquidations are quoted before any work starts. Nothing extra is charged without your agreement.

Your responsibilities

  • Give us complete and accurate information about the company, its assets, debts, filings and tax affairs.
  • Make sure each director completes our identity verification, which we're required to carry out under anti-money laundering law.
  • Sign the special resolution and Form H15 promptly, so Revenue's letter and the advert don't expire before filing.
  • Don't let the company trade or take on debts once the strike-off has started.

Outcomes and timing

Revenue decides whether to issue its letter of no objection, and striking a company off is at the CRO's discretion. Anyone can object during the CRO's 90-day notice period. We'll tell you at the eligibility check if we see anything that could stand in the way.

If the strike-off can't go ahead

  • If the eligibility check shows the company doesn't qualify, you haven't paid anything.
  • If you cancel after paying, we refund our fee less the cost of work already done and any third-party costs already incurred, such as a newspaper advert already placed.
  • Official fees paid to the CRO or Revenue are not refundable.
  • If a step has to be repeated because information you gave was inaccurate, or because documents weren't signed in time, the extra cost, such as a second newspaper advert, is charged at cost.
