As of 13 August 2026, AI cannot apply to strike off your company.

What to actually do

1. Hand it to a person

   The route this page recommends

   Someone with a licence or accountable authority has to sign this before it counts.

2. Use a tool built for this

   Second choice

3. Do it yourself

   The distant third

   A chat interface gets you a draft, but you cannot verify it yourself. That is the catch.

   How to actually do it

   1. Open the GOV.UK and Companies House pages for striking off a company and copy the relevant guidance into a document.
   2. Gather the company number, registered office, director and shareholder details, recent accounts and confirmation statement information, and records of trading, debts, employees, tax, assets, contracts and legal proceedings.
   3. Paste the guidance and the gathered facts into the prompt, leaving an explicit bracketed note for every fact you cannot establish.
   4. Ask the chatbot to produce the eligibility checklist, missing-information table and draft answers, then compare every factual answer with the company records and the official guidance.
   5. Send the completed facts and the draft checklist to the company accountant or a solicitor, especially if the company has creditors, tax issues, employees, assets, disputes or recent trading.
   6. Open the official Companies House strike-off service yourself, enter the checked information, complete any required director declarations and submit only after the responsible directors and professional adviser are satisfied.

   Prompt

   I am considering applying to strike off a UK company. Help me prepare, but do not act as a solicitor, decide that the company is eligible, or tell me that filing is safe. Use only the official GOV.UK or Companies House information that I paste below, and identify any missing or uncertain point instead of guessing.
   
   Company name: [COMPANY NAME]
   Company number: [COMPANY NUMBER]
   Company type and jurisdiction: [DETAILS]
   Directors: [DETAILS]
   Shareholders: [DETAILS]
   Recent trading and business activity: [DETAILS]
   Outstanding debts, creditors, employees, tax, contracts, assets or legal proceedings: [DETAILS]
   Dates and details of the last accounts, confirmation statement and tax filings: [DETAILS]
   Official GOV.UK or Companies House guidance: [PASTE LINKS OR TEXT]
   
   Produce:
   1. A factual checklist of information and documents I need before using the official company strike-off service.
   2. A table separating facts I supplied, facts still missing, and points that need confirmation from Companies House, HMRC, an accountant or a solicitor.
   3. A draft of the answers I may need to enter into the official application, using my wording where possible and inventing nothing.
   4. A list of creditors, authorities, employees or other parties who may need to be notified, marked as 'confirm professionally' where the guidance or facts do not settle the point.
   5. A final warning list of conditions or consequences that I must check before submitting.
   Do not submit anything, do not create a signature, do not infer eligibility from silence, and do not give legal or tax advice. State clearly that this is not professional advice.
