Shut down unused ltd co
Discussion
I registered a ltd co in the summer as I planned to do some consultancy.
I now have no need for it, I never VAT registered it, put any expenses or other transactions through it.
Whats the tidiest and easiest way of shutting it down. Happy to pay a modest fee to a professional to get it done (If necessary).

Literally just file a form to dissolve it (or you can set it as dormant) should you wish to keep it there for future.

Hope that helps.

Annual Return is £13 (electronic filing) or £40 (paper filing).
That is the Annual Return - which is nothing to do with annual accounts.
A dormant company also has to submit annual accounts. However, it can submit the annual accounts in the form of a Form AA02. This is a separate exercise from the Annual Return and BOTH submissions must be made each year.
In order for the company to submit dormant company accounts or a Form AA02, it must BE dormant i.e. NOTHING must have happened in the accounts of the company for the entirety of the financial year. If anything happened, such as movement on a bank account - or the payment of a debt - then the company isn't dormant and cannot file dormant accounts.

You said that the company was set up and them did nothing.
That implies that the company has no assets or transactions - apart from the issuing of the original share capital;.
Are you saying otherwise? If so, you do need to take some additional basic steps before applying to have the company struck off.
