Quote ="Mr Dog"The 1st notice of strike off comes after 2 months with 2 months grace to comply - Batley seem to have them issued fairly regularly in early Oct with accounts due end of July (currently have one issued on 1st Oct) and also in March for not filing Confirmation Statements that are due in the preceding January. You would think someone there could learn to use a diary to remind them to file!'"
Agreed - strike off not winding up petition. The difference, for those other Mr Dog and me, is that a WUP is terminal and prejudicial to creditors shareholders etc etc. so Companies House destroying a viable business because the accounts were late would not go down well. Strking off is not so terminal, and is used as Mr Dog illustrates, when the business has a record of late submissions. Changing accounting date is a good trick, one time we shortened one year by a month and got longer to submit - work that one out!???
