What you need to know
What Is a Voluntary Strike-Off?
A voluntary strike-off (dissolution) is the process by which a UK Limited Company's directors formally request Companies House to remove the company from the public register. Once dissolved, the company ceases to legally exist. Dissolution is suitable for dormant companies, companies that have ceased trading, or companies that have served their purpose and are no longer needed.
Conditions for Voluntary Strike-Off
Before applying for voluntary strike-off, your company must: not have traded or changed its name in the last 3 months, not be subject to legal proceedings, not have entered into a liquidation process, and have settled all outstanding debts and liabilities. HMRC must also be notified and tax compliance confirmed (including final accounts and corporation tax return).
The DS01 Strike-Off Process
The dissolution process begins with filing Form DS01 (Application to Strike Off) with Companies House, signed by a majority of directors. Companies House publishes a Gazette notice allowing 3 months for creditors or interested parties to object. If no objections are received, Companies House dissolves the company and publishes a final Gazette notice confirming dissolution.
HMRC Compliance Before Dissolution
Before dissolving a UK LTD, you must notify HMRC that the company has ceased trading, file final corporation tax returns and accounts, ensure all PAYE obligations are settled, and deregister for VAT if applicable. Dissolving a company with outstanding HMRC liabilities can result in HMRC objecting to the strike-off and potential enforcement action.
Assets and Dissolution — Bona Vacantia
Any assets remaining in a dissolved company — including bank balances, property, and intellectual property — pass to the Crown under the doctrine of bona vacantia. It is critical to properly distribute or withdraw all company assets before applying for dissolution. HynoGo provides a pre-dissolution checklist to ensure nothing is overlooked.

Frequently asked questions
Typically 3–4 months from DS01 submission. Companies House publishes the strike-off application in the London Gazette, allowing a 3-month objection period. If no objections are filed, the company is formally dissolved.
Yes. A dissolved company can be restored to the Companies House register within 6 years of dissolution via an administrative restoration (by a former director) or a Court Order restoration. Restoration requires payment of outstanding fees and penalties.
All company bank accounts must be closed before dissolution is completed. Any remaining assets or funds in a dissolved company's account become bona vacantia — they pass to the Crown (government). It is essential to distribute or withdraw all funds before dissolution.
A DS01 striking-off application must be submitted by a majority of the company's directors. All directors must consent and confirm that the company has not traded or changed its name in the preceding 3 months.
Before submitting a DS01, the company must: have ceased trading for at least 3 months, have no outstanding HMRC liabilities, have closed all bank accounts, have no pending legal proceedings, and have settled all outstanding debts and creditor obligations.
Dissolution (voluntary striking off) is a straightforward closure for companies with no debts and no creditors. Liquidation (formal insolvency) is required when a company has debts it cannot pay — it involves appointing a licensed insolvency practitioner. Dissolution is the simpler, lower-cost option for solvent companies.
Once a company is dissolved, its registered name becomes available for registration by other companies. If you wish to reuse the name in future, you should monitor it after dissolution, as it may be registered by someone else.
