Object to a limited company being struck off

Skip to contents of guide

After you object

Companies House will let you know if your objection is successful. If it is, the company will not be struck off for another 6 months.

Tell Companies House before this deadline if you either:

  • need more time, for example to complete legal action against the company
  • resolve your issue with the company and no longer object to it being struck off

If you want more time, Companies House will ask you to prove that you’ve made progress towards resolving your issue. For example, if the company owes you money and you have simply sent another invoice, Companies House is unlikely to extend the deadline. If you’ve started legal action to recover a debt they may do.

If you do not contact Companies House before the time limit and the company still meets all the conditions to be struck off, it will be struck off.
