At Marchford, we help directors dissolve limited companies that are no longer needed, ensuring the process is handled correctly, efficiently, and without complications.

How Marchford Can Help You Dissolve a Limited Company

Dissolving a company might seem straightforward, but if it’s done incorrectly, it can lead to delays, penalties, or even reinstatement. At Marchford, we make sure the process is completed properly and in line with Companies House and HMRC requirements.

We’ll confirm your company’s eligibility, prepare and submit the DS01 form, notify relevant parties, and ensure there are no loose ends—helping you close the company cleanly and without stress.

When Should You Consider Dissolution?

Dissolution may be the right route if:

  • The company is no longer trading – It has ceased operations and has no future business activity planned.

  • There are no debts – All liabilities have been settled and there are no outstanding obligations.

  • There are no remaining assets – Any company funds or assets have already been dealt with appropriately.

  • You want a low-cost closure – Dissolution is usually the most affordable way to close a dormant or inactive business.

If your company has debts or ongoing obligations, dissolution may not be suitable—but we can help you explore alternative options, such as liquidation.

The Process of Dissolving a Company

We handle the dissolution process on your behalf, ensuring that each step is completed correctly:

  • Confirming your company is eligible for strike-off

  • Preparing and submitting the DS01 form to Companies House

  • Notifying HMRC and any other relevant parties

  • Ensuring there are no outstanding obligations that could delay or reverse the process

  • Monitoring the strike-off process through to formal dissolution
