Voluntary Strike-Off / Company Dissolution
Close your company correctly to avoid future liabilities and legal issues
What Is Voluntary Strike-Off?
Voluntary strike-off is a process by which a company that has ceased trading (or never traded) requests to have its name removed (“struck off”) from the Companies Register. Once struck off, the company is dissolved and no longer has legal status.

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if there are still outstanding debts or liabilities?
You must resolve (or certify minimal liabilities under the CRO’s rules) before applying; liabilities over the allowed threshold will prevent a voluntary strike-off.
How long does the process take?
From filing H15, advertising, through to dissolution, it typically takes at least 90 days, provided there are no objections.
Can I stop the strike-off if needed?
Yes. If an objection is raised using Form H16, or you decide to withdraw, there are procedures for doing so before the company is dissolved.
