Dormat Company Status

This discussion addresses whether a company can apply for dormant status (MSC-2) if it hasn't yet filed the commencement of business form (20A), especially after a year of incorporation. While dormant status is typically for companies not conducting business or filing accounts for two years, the key issue here is the prerequisite of Form 20A. It appears that filing Form 20A is mandatory before MSC-2 can be submitted, as the system will likely prevent the dormant status application without it. Failure to file 20A could lead to the company's name being struck off by the Registrar of Companies.
