Closing a company in the UK follows strict rules laid out in the Companies Act 2006. This formal process aims to be clear, protect creditors, and provide a legal way to stop a company's operations.
To start closing, the company's directors need to agree in a board resolution and confirm the company can pay its debts. Depending on the company's rules, shareholders might also need to agree.
The company has to tell creditors about the closing giving them a chance to ask for any money owed. At the same time, the company has to fill out forms for Companies House, including financial statements and proof of meeting all filing duties.
A crucial step is putting a notice about the closing in the London Gazette, a public announcement. This lets everyone, especially creditors, know about the closing and gives them time to object during a waiting period.
