Review the position before applying

Closing down a company limited by guarantee doesn’t have to be complicated. Simple voluntary dissolution of a company limited by guarantee — also known as striking off — is a straightforward route for non-profits, clubs, and charities that are ready to wind things up cleanly and legally. If your CLG hasn’t traded, sold stock, or changed its name in the past three months, and has no outstanding debts or liabilities, pending legal proceedings, or recent below-value asset disposals, this could be the most efficient path forward. Coddan CPM Ltd handles the process, helping eligible organisations remove themselves from the Companies House register without the complexity of a full members’ voluntary liquidation. Simple, compliant, and stress-free — exactly what you need when it’s time to close the chapter.

Preparation review. A preparation review considers the company circumstances and public company record from the information supplied, to identify what needs attention before filing. It provides guidance within the accepted scope; the directors supply the facts and make the company decisions.

Coddan reviews the company circumstances and Companies House position from the information you provide. Explain when activity stopped, what money or assets remain and any outstanding company matters.

What the £162 + VAT package includes

Coddan reviews the supplied company circumstances and Companies House position, provides preparation guidance, and prepares the DS01 application for agreed filing after the required director approvals. The £162 + VAT package includes the applicable Companies House filing fee, submission confirmation, basic statutory-notification guidance and monitoring of the Companies House strike-off process within the accepted instruction.

Members, assets and notifications

Coddan explains matters to consider concerning members, guarantors, bank accounts, assets and required notifications. The directors make the company decisions, provide complete facts and carry out tasks outside the accepted instruction. Guidance does not transfer money or property or deliver statutory copies on your behalf unless expressly assigned.

Accounts, tax and difficult matters

Final accounts and tax returns, VAT/PAYE closure, substantive HMRC work, asset transfers, creditor negotiations, complex objections and specialist legal, property or insolvency work are separately scoped. Ask your personal manager about FullDissolution if broader coordination is needed.

What to provide and approve

Provide the company number, current circumstances, relevant company records, any notices and the director/signatory information. Coddan clarifies the preparation and prepares the application when the company is ready. Coddan’s order form records your instructions; it is separate from paper Form DS01 or the corresponding Companies House online application. The required directors approve and authenticate the application before agreed filing. Ordering the service is not completed dissolution.

From preparation review to monitoring

Coddan reviews the supplied information, explains preparation within scope, prepares and files the approved application and monitors the Companies House process. The directors must meet their notification duties and tell Coddan about changes affecting eligibility. Companies House determines the official outcome.

Questions before choosing Assisted

Does this include our accounts? The package provides preparation guidance rather than substantive accounts or tax preparation. Can we use the entry service instead? If your company is already ready to apply and you need only the application service, compare VoluntaryDissolution. What does monitoring include? Agree the reporting and follow-up arrangements in the accepted instruction.

If there is already a strike-off notice, an objection or a failed application, or the company has already been dissolved, explain this to your personal manager before ordering. A further voluntary strike-off application may not be the appropriate next step.
