Coddan as an authored company formation agent offers UK LLP dissolution service: if you want to close down your limited liability partnership, there are a number of steps that must be undertaken. At Coddan we are able to help you to effectively dissolve an LLP so that you're in full compliance with company and LLP law. There are various reasons why people may want to close down a partnership. It could be that the business is just not working out or there could be internal struggles among the members that have led to a falling out among them. It could also be that the members are retiring and there's no one to run the business.
Dissolution of a Limited Liability Partnership | ||
---|---|---|
We charged £200.00 for the preparation and filing of a limited liability partnership dissolution. Voluntary LLP dissolution is where an LLP applies to Companies House to be struck off and dissolved. LLP can be dissolved, but, the following conditions apply: an LLP has not traded for three months; an LLP has no assets, property or cash at the bank; an LLP has not disposed of any property or assets; the creditors are circulated, requesting their permission for the LLP to be dissolved. |
Price: £200.00 |
An application can be made to Companies House if there's agreement to struck-off the LLP among the majority of members; if there are just two members, both of them must agree to it. There cannot have been any trading activities within the past three months of the application to dissolve a limited liability partnership, or if the LLP has undergone a name change or has not disposed of property and or rights prior to the application. Further steps to be taken include de-registering for VAT, and this will be done with HM Revenue & Customs. After that it's a matter of closing the LLP's bank accounts and dealing with any assets.
For clients who wish to close down their LLP, we offer a swift and low-cost service that is straightforward and doesn't require much action on the part of the client. We charge only £200.00 for our dissolution service, and will ensure the matter is handled in the most professional manner so that there are no loose ends at the end of the process. At the outset, we will prepare the documentation that's required by the authorities to strike of an LLP. If there's only two designated members of the LLP, only their signatures are required on the documentation, and in the case of more, the majority will need to sign.
It's important to note that it's considered an offence if a copy of the LLP dissolution application has not been sent to all interested parties within seven days. These may be employees, creditors, local authorities and other bodies. For the best LLP dissolution advice and service in dissolving an LLP, talk to Coddan today.

A limited liability partnership can cease to exist if the members de-register it and close it down. This may occur when the members no longer find the partnership viable or perhaps they want to retire from the business and there is no one to take over. After an LLP formation, a falling out of members may also result in closing down an LLP. The dissolution process features strict legislative requirements and regulations.
Dissolve your LLP with the Companies House: Coddan offers LLP dissolution services in harmony with the UK law. The agency is conversant with the legal requirements and it provides advice and answers to customers' queries.
The provisions within the Companies Act 2006 provide clear guidelines and the prelude matters before applying for the dissolution of an LLP. A majority of members can apply for a partnership voluntary striking off. Nevertheless, if there are two members, both of them must consent to the application. The Companies Act 2006 sections 1004 and 1005 clearly state instances where it is not possible to close down an LLP.
For instance, application for voluntary strike off is not possible if within the last 3 months an LLP has conducted trade, engaged in other activities apart from those of partnership dissolution, altered its name and failing to dispose property or rights before application. In addition, dissolving an LLP is not possible if it is insolvent or subject to a scheme compromising its relationship with its members or creditors as provided by section 895 under the Companies Act 2006.
Dissolving your LLP with the Companies House: LLP dissolution application procedure: after the eligibility of the LLP to make application has been determined, the next vital stage is VAT deregistration with Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs (HMRC). This is important especially if the partnership was still conducting business and had registered for VAT. Thereafter, bank accounts belonging to the firm are closed, assets handed over and the domain name transferred. Subsequent to closing limited liability partnership, its bank account is frozen and assets passed to Crown.
Coddan ensures that its customers do not experience such actions.
Dissolving an LLP requires a special form that a majority of the members is required to fill and sign. In cases of a single member, then the signature of only that one member is required. The form then moves to Companies House where it is processed. We will prepare and send you forms for an LLP dissolution service, which need to be signed by your designated members.
Informing interested parties: the Companies Act 2006 requires the member(s) who applied for dissolution to send a copy of the application to interested parties within a period of 7 days of making the application. This is because a section of them may object the closing down of the LLP. The people and offices to inform are the members, creditors, employees, local authorities, and Department of Work and Pensions.
Upon receiving the application, the Registrar offers room for any objections that may arise. The registrar uses the relevant Gazette to notify the application. In case there are no issues that come up within a certain period of months after the publication, the Registrar strikes off the LLP. The Gazette notifies members of the striking off. A letter verifying the LLP dissolution date is sent to the LLP registered office address.
Lastly, Companies House evaluates the form and if it is eligible, it files the form on the LLP's public record and the LLP dissolves.
