Questions directors ask
What does “first Gazette notice for compulsory strike-off” mean?
Companies House has published that it plans to remove the company from the register, normally after about two months.
How do I stop it?
File the overdue documents. Companies House then normally discontinues the action. You can also object if you need more time.
What happens if the company is struck off?
It stops existing. Its bank account is frozen and anything it owns passes to the Crown. You’d then need to restore it.
Is it usually the confirmation statement?
Yes. About 88% of companies on the weekly list are behind on their confirmation statement.
