Copy paste exercise
A first Gazette notice of strike off warns that the company in question will imminently be struck off the Companies House register. Compulsory strike off applications are advertised via a Gazette notice in order to inform any outstanding creditors of the company that it will soon be dissolved. Once a company is dissolved using the strike off process, it will cease to exist as a legal entity, meaning any creditors will be unable to chase the company for the money they are owed.
Following the Gazette notice being advertised, outstanding creditors will have three months in which to object to the strike off; if none are received, the company will be dissolved and its name removed from the register.
I am a bit confused now. If the RTO was progressing well, I'd have thought they'd change the name not strike off the company altogether. And if I've understood the above bit right, the management have to infirm us, the shareholders within 7 days of submitting a request to Companies House. Well, where is the company update then?
