        Slightly concerned that the OP only started contracting a year ago and was trying to do everything themselves back then.

        Who is your accountant?
        How much money do you have in your company accounts?
        Have you left enough money in the company accounts to pay your corporation tax, etc?
        …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

          I know a reputable firm in the Dutch Antilles that will do it for the same cost but will "loan" the VAT component back to your mate.

              Hey, thanks for response - company is all in good health. Just looking to close it for now due to change in work arrangements.
              Been using gorilla, they been good but wanted to know if their quote of £250 is reasonable.

                It’s gonna take 2/3 hours so I think it’s reasonable.
                I take it they will do it, finish everything, and let you leave their monthly payments?
                If so then I’d accept it as a lot less bother.

                If you found someone to do it for £50 you’d have to get all the books handed over, deal with termination of gorilla contract and the close down would be done by someone who doesn’t know the backgrounds.
                See You Next Tuesday

                  £250 sounds good to me if you trust them not to balls it up. Make sure it includes you being able to ring them for a few months after the closure if you get letters from HMRC or have other queries.
