Plain-English guidance for customers who want more detail. The package scope and price shown above remain the commercial terms for this service.
Quick rule
No trading, no name change, and no disposal of stock in the last 3 months - those are the core DS01 eligibility conditions.
- Directors submit form DS01
- Companies House publishes notice of the proposed strike-off in The Gazette, giving creditors and other interested parties an opportunity to object
- If there's no valid objection, a later notice confirms dissolution
- Submitting the application doesn't instantly close the company - the process commonly takes several months, and objections can delay it further
- Directors must send a copy of the application to relevant people (shareholders, creditors, employees) within the required period
Strike-off isn't instant - budget for several months, not days.

How long does strike-off take?+
We submit an eligible application within two working days after receiving complete information. Companies House then follows its notice and objection process, which usually takes several months.
Can I close a company that owes money?+
Strike-off is not designed to avoid creditors. Debts should be settled and an unpaid creditor may object. Insolvent companies need different advice.
What happens to money left in the bank?+
Assets still owned by the company on dissolution can pass to the Crown. Clear and distribute them appropriately before closure.
Is the DS01 filing fee included?+
Yes. The Companies House online application fee is included.
Do all directors need to sign?+
The application must be authorised by a majority of directors. For a company with one or two directors, all must approve.
