For a certain period, depending on the jurisdiction, the abandoned company will remain on the business register. The period depends on the legislation of a particular country - if the fee is not paid the jurisdiction will impose a certain penalty. Since the moment of the penalty imposed on the company, its reputation is considered dishonored, and therefore it cannot continue its business operation. Otherwise, the actions will be recognized as illegal entrepreneurship. If fines and fees are not paid, the business entity is removed by the Registrar from the Company Register.
