Company Strike Off Service (Dissolution)

A company strike off, also known as dissolution, is the process of officially removing your company’s name from the Companies House register in the UK. Once dissolved, the company ceases to exist as a legal entity, and directors are relieved of their statutory responsibilities.

This is a straightforward and cost-effective way to close a business that is no longer trading.

Why you might close a company

✔ Avoid the recurring costs of annual accounts & confirmation statements
✔ Prevent late filing penalties and legal risks
✔ Protect your reputation by closing the company correctly (instead of involuntary strike off)
✔ Free yourself from ongoing administrative duties

Strike Off Process

➤ Cease trading – The company must stop trading and settle all outstanding affairs.
➤ File DS01 application – Directors must sign and submit the official strike off form.
➤ Gazette notice – Companies House publishes the notice, giving creditors/opponents two months to object.
➤ Company dissolved – If no objections are raised, the company is struck off and legally dissolved.
