Companies House to resume voluntary and compulsory strike off

Companies House has resumed the strike off process for companies after pausing the procedure for a few months due to the Covid pandemic.

It was paused from the beginning of this year so that companies and creditors would not be adversely affected by processing delays at Companies House. Following a review, this temporary measure was lifted in March 2021 and Companies House has resumed the process to dissolve companies who've applied for voluntary strike off, and those who it believes are no longer carrying on business or in operation.

Companies House advises that it still has limited numbers in the office following government guidance for working safely during the Covid measures.
