    Is it necessary to file accounts, confirmation statement and verify ID for a business that is in the process of being dissolved and struck off?

    I have 2 UK limited companies. One was just a holding business for investments, the other is related to music/performing/recording. I've filed accounts and done confirmation statements for both in the past. I dissolved the holding company on 31st October and applied to strike it off the...

    How to calculate if a business can afford loan repayments taken on for a business acquisition?

    I'm pretty sure it's against the rules of this forum to hurl around insults, take threads off on tangents and to promote your own business links here.

    Absolutely NOT!!! You don't need to bring in your lawyer or accountant before signing Heads of Terms!!!! Doing so is incredibly inefficient and costly, especially if you look at a large number of deals each week or month, since not every deal you look at will end up closing. So if you were to...
