Do you need a solvent liquidation?
Perhaps you are retiring and have no one to run the business effectively or you may be a shareholder looking to realise your assets. Regardless of the reason, if you need to withdraw your cash tax efficiently and distribute less than £25,000 an application to strike off might be the answer. If you are distributing more, a solvent liquidation might meet your needs.
