How to deregister a non-trading company

In principle, deregistering a Non-Trading Company takes place when liquidation procedures have been completed, after the company has been dissolved.

In two circumstances, deregistration can be applied for without the need for the company to be dissolved:

• If all the parts of a company have been merged under a single stakeholder under Article 1703-1 of the Civil Code
• In the case of a transfer of property by means of a merger or demerger, under Article 1709 of the Civil Code

Deeds

Deeds must be registered with the Department of Tax Services within one month of signing if they are signed privately and within 10 days if they are notarised.
The surname, preferred name, first names, date and place of birth, nationality(ies), home address and marital status and, if applicable, the matrimonial property regime of the parties to the agreement. 

In the case of a legal entity, the agreement includes the name or corporate name, the legal form, the address of the registered office, the number and place of registration in a public register, as well as the surname, preferred name, alias, or pseudonym, first names, date and place of birth, nationality(ies), and home address:

• The persons authorised to administer, direct, manage or bind them on a regular basis regarding third parties, or their equivalents under foreign law
• The permanent representative, where such appointment is provided for by law or regulation.

Publication and registration formalities

Apart from public limited companies, the dissolution/deregistration of a particular civil company is not subject to publication in the Journal de Monaco.

Civil companies must be deleted from the Special Register of Non-trading Companies within one month of completion of the registration formalities.

Failure to do so will result in the company being refused entry in the register.
