Close (dissolve) your limited company.
What is a Company Dissolution?
If a limited company is no longer required, the directors can request that it be removed from the Companies House register. This process is known as a "Voluntary Company Dissolution".
What you get with the service:
We'll complete all of the necessary documentation to dissolve your company and then send the documents to you to be signed by the company directors. Once returned, we shall file the documents on your behalf.
For those wanting to close or dissolve their company. There must be at least one director in order for us to prepare a dissolution form. N.B. This service can not be used to dissolve PLCs (Public Limited Companies).
This electronic filing service is perfect for customers who need their company dissolution filed quickly. 3 months of Registered Office service is also included so you can receive your last few items of government mail for your company.
Please note: The 3 month registered office service is for existing customers with a registered office service who have had their proof of ID validated.
Once a Company Dissolution Service order has been placed you will receive an email from Companies House (within 3-4 working days for the Standard Service and 24 hours for the Express Service - excluding weekends and Bank Holidays). When you receive the email:
When all officer/s have signed the application we will submit the application to Companies House.
Companies House will email within 2 working days to confirm acceptance or rejection of the submission. Please note that it generally takes Companies House 3-4 months to fully dissolve a company. If the Registered Office Service happens to expire during this period, we recommend buying the Express Dissolution Service which includes 3 months of Registered Office Service so that you can continue to receive any final items of government mail for your company. Please note that the Registered Office Service is only available to customers already using our registered office address and who have also had their proof of ID validated.
Yes.
Companies House will write to you directly once the dissolution application has been received, and again, when the company has officially been struck off. It can take up to 6 months for Companies House to fully dissolve the company.
Once a company has been dissolved, it can be restored (within twenty years from the date it was dissolved) by the courts should there be reasonable grounds to do so.
Over half of the directors in the company must sign the document. If the company has 2 directors then both must sign the document. It is mandatory to have at least one director in order to prepare the dissolution form.
In this time, and immediately after Companies House receives the application, you will not be required to file anything else to Companies House, i.e. a Confirmation Statement or Annual Accounts. Please note that HMRC will not be informed about the dissolution process. Thus, we strongly advise you to contact your Local Tax Office as you may still need to file your last company Tax Return.
No. A company can not file a dissolution request if:
"Company closure", "striking-off" and "winding up" are all commonly used to define the process.
