Is there a way to close my company simply and cost effectively?
Yes, you can close your company. The process is called dissolving a limited company or dissolution.
A voluntary dissolution can remove companies from the Companies House Register if you meet certain conditions. Most specifically, you cannot dissolve a company if it has significant debts. You cannot dissolve your company unless ALL of the requirements are met (see detailed guide below).
Company dissolution is a handy and cost-effective tool.

This process is also known as a voluntary dissolution. It is a provision in the Companies Act to allow the removal of the company from the Companies Register, typically when the company is dormant.
If the company serves no useful purpose, its dissolution removes the need for the filing of annual returns and accounts. However, bear in mind that dissolving the company (removed from the Companies House Register) can only happen if the following conditions apply:
Please note that paying off debts does not necessarily constitute trading, but for detailed advice on this and all other aspects of dissolution, please call on 0800 9700539 for further information.
The Insolvency Service has been given powers to investigate directors of companies that have been dissolved as set out in the Ratings (Coronavirus) and Directors Disqualification (Dissolved Companies) Act. This has closed a legal loophole and acts as a strong deterrent against the misuse of the dissolution process.
Extension of the power to investigate also includes the relevant sanctions such as disqualification from acting as a company director for up to 15 years. These powers will be exercised by the Insolvency Service on behalf of the Business Secretary.
The Ratings (Coronavirus) and Directors Disqualification (Dissolved Companies) Act is retrospective and will enable the Insolvency Service to also tackle Directors who have inappropriately wound-up companies that have benefited from Bounce Back Loans.
So, if you have a Bounce Back Loan do not try and dissolve the company! All the banks receive a notice from Companies House if you try and they will object. So you either have to liquidate the company voluntarily or wait for the bank to apply through the court (risky, stressful and will take a long time)
Leaving the company dormant may be an option if you think that you may need the company in the future. However, you will need to keep in touch with Companies House and file a set of dormant accounts and a statement of conformity each year. So a bit of paperwork still!
A members voluntary liquidation (MVL) is a formal process where any assets such as stock, cash, property, and any other assets are “liquidated”. The proceeds are then distributed to the members. Also, all debts of the company have to be paid off, and a statement of solvency declared. A Licensed Insolvency Practitioner can only do MVL. so there are fees to pay, but the process is managed correctly, and there are tax advantages as well.
