⚠️ Why Proper Deregistration Matters
*35% of struck-off companies face surprise tax audits or director lawsuits.* Mitigate critical risks:
-
Personal Liability Exposure: Unpaid taxes/fines transfer to directors (e.g., UK: 15-year liability window)
-
Reputation Damage: "Dissolved with debt" status harms credit history
-
Revival Traps: Banks/registries may forcibly restore inactive entities with accumulated penalties
