Introduction to the Programme
Welcome to the KSA GROUP Dissolution – Guide – A Step by Step
Guide Programme
We can help you to Save Time on Company Accounts, Filling in PSCs and Confirmation Statements.
This programme includes all you need to know to get a dormant and compliant company dissolved by Companies House.
As in all things in life there is no absolute guarantee that Companies House or the company’s creditors/ shareholders will agree to strike the company off the register, but this programme will help you prepare a quality application process, that stands a very high chance of being agreed if your company complies with the Rules of Dissolution under s1003 Companies Act 2006.
Please do note however, that if you and or your business have displayed a callous disregard to HMRC, very poor tax compliance and very poor Companies House reporting compliance, or haven’t filed accounts, then it is possible that even our best advice and guidance cannot help you dissolve the company.
We have set out the programme to be as user-friendly as possible, but please remember whenever you have questions you can email them to us for a quick answer. We will answer all questions during our office hours of 9 to 5pm, 5 days a week. This email support service is FREE.

Section 1: How Did You Get To Here?
Well, as we all know, there are any thousands of things that can go wrong in a business but always remember this. Small to medium sized business generates economic activity, employment and value added for the local and national economies.
If you started the business or are the sole director, you will know that it is a lonely profession, being an entrepreneur! Sometimes mistakes are made by ambitious directors and the company doesn’t work out. Other times legislation changes mean the company serves no further purpose.
Changes to the law by HMG Government and HMRC to IR35 rules, for example, can mean that personal service companies set up to provide a medium for work for large clients are no longer able to do so.
If you are a director of a larger or more established concern, then you will know just how critical the business is or was to its employees, its suppliers and its customers.
So, chin up, the fact that the company has not worked or delivered is not the end of the world. The fact that HMRC rule changes mean the company is no longer necessary can be annoying but “it is what it is”. Alternatively, it may be that a particular market related event has led to its failure or that the idea actually never got off the ground and the company has not traded.
The fact that you have purchased this programme, positively demonstrates that you are determined to tidy up the loose ends that a dormant company generates and get on with the rest of your life.
There are lots of compliance issues to contend with for the company whether it trades or not. Every company has to file documents and accounts at Companies House such as
· Confirmation statements (formerly annual returns)
· Persons of significant control (PSC)
· Annual accounts, whether the company has traded or dormant
· Corporation tax returns and others like
· Office of National Statistics surveys and Information Commissioners procedures
We can help you end all of this unnecessary work with this programme!
If you now have a new role or job these compliance requirements can be a nuisance and time consuming but are a legal compliance requirement for company directors. We help many thousands of people every year, they run different and diverse businesses. Most are fantastically hard working, many are innovative and creative, others are great with numbers or processes, still more are great leaders. BUT all of the people we work with and help may share ONE COMMON TRAIT: The emotional “roller coaster of insolvency”.
“Running a company that’s approaching insolvency or that is actually insolvent, or now dormant, can be an emotional roller coaster; there are good days and bad, great successes and depressing failures. Lots of work to do just to keep up with reporting and accounting.
Remember, although you have fought many battles before on your own, now you have the UK’s leading Company Rescue firm on your side, and we know what you’re going through”!
Keith Steven 2019
Many people tell us that they don’t believe that some creditors will accept a proposal to dissolve the company but, done properly over time, this may not be a problem if the company and its directors have acted correctly and properly.
Over 480,000 companies were dissolved by directors or by the Companies Registrar in 2018. It is often just a process of tidying up the Companies House Register of non–trading companies and also ensuring that trading companies DO comply, that the directors DO report and directors DO act properly.
So, let’s start with a well-used phrase, “You are where you are”. There is no time for blame or recrimination it’s all about one thing now……….
