Voluntary Company Dissolution Service
A controlled DS01 strike-off process for a solvent company that has stopped trading and meets the Companies House eligibility conditions.
✓Eligibility review before filing✓DS01 preparation and submission✓Board record and stakeholder notice checklist
SERVICE OVERVIEW
Strike-off is for eligible solvent companies—not a shortcut around creditors, tax or unresolved assets.
A company may apply for voluntary strike-off only when it meets the statutory conditions. It generally must not have traded, sold stock or changed name during the previous three months, be threatened with liquidation or have an arrangement with creditors.
Before applying, directors should deal with employees, creditors, tax, bank accounts, contracts, domains and company assets. Assets left in the company when it is dissolved can pass to the Crown.

QUESTIONS, ANSWERED
Voluntary Company Dissolution Service FAQs
Practical answers about eligibility, documents, timing and responsibility.
How long does dissolution take?+
A straightforward voluntary strike-off commonly takes several months because Companies House publishes notice and allows objections.
Can a company with debts be struck off?+
A creditor can object, and insolvent companies may require a formal insolvency route. Obtain professional advice before applying.
Can the company trade after applying?+
The company should not continue ordinary trading. Only limited activities connected with closing the company may be permitted.
What happens to money left in the bank?+
Remaining company property can pass to the Crown when the company is dissolved, so assets should be dealt with first.
Can dissolution be stopped?+
Yes, an application can be withdrawn and interested parties can object before the company is removed.
