FAQ
Why can’t I just leave my company dormant and allow it to shut down?
If a company is left dormant, the director’s conduct may be investigated by the insolvency service, leading to potential personal liability or long-term bans from directorship.
What happens to the company after the Liquidation has ended?
After liquidation, the company will be removed from the register at Companies House approximately 3 months after the process is concluded.
Dissolution is typically used for solvent companies, whereas Liquidation is necessary when the company has debts and is insolvent. If your company has outstanding liabilities, a Creditors Voluntary Liquidation (CVL) might be the more appropriate option.
