    HSBC: Refund being paid to the Crown

    Thank you. I have seen this information on the gov site. I agree that restoring the company is not worthwhile. I am naturally sceptical of the other available options but I will look into this a little more.

    HSBC: Refund being paid to the Crown

    Whilst this forum can be helpful, I also dread coming on here. You almost always have to navigate ignorance, cynicism and general toxicity. I can only assume this is due to an unwavering need for attention for some. As why else would they bother to engage in other's concerns when they appear to...

    HSBC: Refund being paid to the Crown

    The option infers to buy or refer. In this case to the Treasury Solicitor. Again, I don't know what this means or entails.

    HSBC: Refund being paid to the Crown

    The only option anyone has addressed with any confidence relates to restoring the company. I agree, this does not appear to be particularly viable. However, there are two other options presented via the gov site. Which, could very well entail similar scenarios. But, as of this moment, I do not...

    HSBC: Refund being paid to the Crown

    That is not necessarily the case. As I've said, I imagine there's a reasonable chance it's not worth pursuing. But I'm also not entirely convinced anyone who has replied to this thread is completely aware of the options.

    HSBC: Refund being paid to the Crown

    From the HSBC letter: What you need to do If you would like to claim the money we're paying to the Crown, you can find guidance regarding how money can be claimed from the relevant authority on the government website: gov*uk/claiming-money-or-property-from-dissolved-company Here you are...

    HSBC: Refund being paid to the Crown

    According to the gov site, a discretionary grant requires an application form to be sent, along with £300 legal costs. What else this option may entail, I am unsure. I haven't fathomed the extent of what exactly is involved in buying/referring a company's asset. It could very well be that it...

    HSBC: Refund being paid to the Crown

    Aside from the personal tax liability, this only relates to the first option (restoring the company). Which I am also unlikely to do. Are you able to comment on a discretionary grant or buying a company's asset? Thanks

    HSBC: Refund being paid to the Crown

    Would you mind elaborating a little? I currently know very little about each option. But from what I can see via the gov.uk site, at a reasonably quick glance, restoring the company requires a £280 court fee + ~£300 registrar fee. A discretionary grant, £300 legal costs. I'm not too sure what's...

    HSBC: Refund being paid to the Crown

    I've received a letter from HSBC stating they're issuing a refund for just over £1000 due to an issue with a product a company I ran had with them. However, I dissolved the company in 2017 so the money is being paid to the Crown. According to the gov.uk website, I have 3 options to claim the...

    How important is ‘good design’ in an e-commerce store?

    The more attractive and functional the better, imo. Try themeforest.com, if you haven't already.

    Verified suppliers on Alibaba

    I have done business for reasonably long periods of time (many years) with several suppliers on Alibaba and have visited factories in China twice. From experience, it's difficult to tell exactly who you're working with until you meet them. I would try to fathom whether they are the actual...
