Company secretarial closure

This schedule sets out the scope of services we will provide.

As part of our agreed services, we will:

• Advise on the eligibility of your company for voluntary strike-off
• Prepare and submit form DS01 to Companies House for company dissolution
• Draft and issue the required board resolution to approve the strike-off
• Guide you on the practical steps to be taken before dissolution (e.g. closing bank accounts, settling liabilities)

Please note: this list is not exhaustive. Any work not specifically listed under "Included work" is deemed outside the scope of this engagement unless we have expressly agreed otherwise in writing.

Where additional work is required, we will advise you of the scope, our proposed fee, and obtain your agreement before proceeding.

• Reinstatement of the company at a later date

Please note: this list is not exhaustive. Any work not specifically listed under "Included work" is deemed outside the scope of this engagement unless we have expressly agreed otherwise in writing.

Where additional work is required, we will advise you of the scope, our proposed fee, and obtain your agreement before proceeding.
