Specialist closure assessment. A specialist closure assessment examines the supplied structure, property, management and membership circumstances to identify whether voluntary strike-off appears appropriate and what further work needs attention. The accepted instruction defines the work Coddan undertakes.

Coddan reviews the supplied structure and circumstances and considers whether voluntary strike-off appears appropriate. Explain the property, membership, management, contractual and financial position. Closing the company can affect other people and ongoing responsibilities.

What the from-price service covers

From £508 + VAT covers the specialist route subject to the agreed instruction. The service includes initial specialist review, identification of issues, guidance on members, guarantees, property, management arrangements, assets and funds, and agreed closure planning and coordination. DS01 preparation, filing and the applicable filing fee are included where strike-off proceeds under the agreed service. Coddan monitors the process and coordinates or refers matters within the accepted scope.

Agree the work and price before proceeding

Send a summary before relying on a standard application route. Coddan identifies the administrative work it can undertake and any separate professional work. The accepted instruction defines the work and charges. Use the existing order route once that scope has been agreed.

Property, management and outside professional work

Legal advice, conveyancing, specialist tax, insolvency and complex property or asset transactions are separate services. An application to remove the company does not resolve leases, ownership, service-charge arrangements, residents’ rights or ongoing management obligations.

Documents, company decisions and authority

Provide the articles, relevant decisions, property and management information, accounts or financial position, contracts and official notices requested for the review. Directors and members obtain any decisions their company’s articles and arrangements require. The strike-off application needs the sole director’s approval where there is one, both directors’ approval where there are two, or otherwise a majority of directors. Placing or paying for an order does not replace that authority. Coddan works within the accepted authority and scope.

From assessment to the appropriate next step

Coddan reviews the supplied circumstances, identifies outstanding issues, agrees the available work and coordinates preparation. DS01 is prepared and filed only where appropriate and included.

Before filing, agree who will send the required application copies and handle later notifications, correspondence and any necessary withdrawal. Copies are generally due to the required recipients within seven days of applying; duties can also arise for recipients who become involved later. Directors retain their statutory responsibilities; Coddan undertakes delivery or withdrawal work only where expressly included in the accepted instruction.

Filing does not dissolve the company. It remains in existence during the pending process, and objections or changed circumstances can affect progression. Tell Coddan promptly about relevant changes; any required withdrawal must be arranged immediately. Agree which updates or evidence will be supplied and where the instruction ends. Where another route or professional is needed, discuss that before proceeding.

Questions before choosing Specialist

Can every property CLG be struck off? The circumstances and continuing arrangements need assessment. Does the starting price include legal transfers? These are separately scoped professional tasks. Is dissolution guaranteed? Companies House controls the official process, and objections or eligibility issues can affect progression.
