What is Strike Off?
Strike-off is the process by which a company is removed from the Companies House register and dissolved. Voluntary strike-off (form DS01) is open to companies that have not traded for three months and have no live charges. Compulsory strike-off is initiated by the Registrar for non-filing. Any remaining assets at strike-off pass to the Crown as bona vacantia.
