Thank you everyone. It seems to me that Striking off will be the solution fit to my company.
But do I need first to stop the direct debits; close the company's bank accounts and send letters (as in Spongebob plan) to creditors before Striking off?
Hi everyone,
Since my company doesn't have enough funds to pay an IP I've opted to follow Spongebob plan but I fail to understand Step 5: Winding Up. Is this a step that my company would eventually face? Is Lisa's Company's option 3. Follow dissolution procedure same as Spongebob plan...
I was quoting Spongebob's plan in not applying for striking off since he said its optional starting to get confuse now. Am worry about the timing as for the winding up I will have to wait for their reply and attend the interview at some point. I am sure I won't be in the country by then as I am...
Thank you Scalloway for your prompt response. I will follow your advice. So if choosing no to apply for strike-off using form DS01 the process would take longer?

The company has not creditors yet apart from myself who still borrowing money to the company to pay the bills. If I cancel the telephone contract and web hosting then they will...
Thank you Scalloway,
So I can perfectly apply THE SPONGEBOB PLAN? I was just a bit confused as the way Spongebob defines Ceasing Trading: "No further contracts, either sales or purchase, should be entered into, and work on long-term contracts should cease." I interpreted purchase as being bound...
Hi Kulture,
Thanks for the encouragement but I still need some directions. So you recommend ceasing trading would this means no purchasing or buying for three months before actually striking off?
My last actual purchase was about three months but the company still paying the mobile contract...
Hi,
I will like to close my company down for lack of business and personal circumstances. Needless to say, the company is in the loss and wouldn't have money to pay an Insolvency Practitioner to liquidate it.
I want to implement THE SPONGEBOB PLAN but I don't know what do to as I'm still...
