Please provide the following information for our assessment by email or fix up an appointment with all your documents.

- When did the company become dormant (no activity/transaction at all)?

A Singapore Company that is not in operation is best closed down Voluntarily via Struck off the Register provided that the company has no assets or liabilities i.e. the balance sheet is zero.
For a dormant company there is always a danger that the directors may forget about these activities and this noncompliance may attract heavy fine from ACRA and IRAS. Fine may ranges from $50 to $700 and directors may need to attend the court for non-compliance of the Companies Act. Strike off is the easiest and fastest way to close a Singapore Company.
EBOS SG can carry out all the steps on your behalf to ensure the company is closed properly in the quickest possible timeframe.
