Is Liquidation the same as dissolving the company?

No. Only a Licensed Insolvency Practitioner can liquidate a company. A Director can apply for their company to be dissolved, directly to Companies House if they meet the relevant criteria.

Please be aware… In certain circumstances, it can be deemed a criminal offence to make an application to dissolve a limited company that is insolvent. Directors should take professional advice before making an application to have a company struck off or dissolved.
