Closing a Limited Company with debts

Closing a limited company with debts, especially when insolvent, requires careful consideration of legal requirements, creditor obligations, and potential personal implications.

One method for closing a company with debts is through Creditors Voluntary Liquidation. This process involves appointing a licensed insolvency practitioner to manage the liquidation and distribute assets to creditors. While it incurs costs, Voluntary Liquidation is a responsible duty of the director.

Ignoring the company’s insolvency issues may lead to creditors initiating Compulsory Liquidation, which we strongly advise against due to serious personal consequences for you, the director.

It’s essential to address these matters responsibly and seek professional advice if needed.

Closing a UK Limited Company with
No Debts

If your company has no debts, assets, and is dormant, consider Dissolution (strike off).

Submit a DS01 form to Companies House for a fee. Suitable for companies with minimal or no debt, no assets, ceased trading, and no longer needed.

Ensure eligibility and adhere to legal requirements for a successful Dissolution. For detailed guidance, explore Dissolution (strike off applications) information or contact us.
