Could anyone offer any general advice on this, i'm seeing my accountant on Friday but somehow I always get the impression he never gives me the full facts. Probably need a new one but thats another story!
I run a couple of businesses, one's web and software development which is where I devote 95% of my time. The other is a web based advertising portal which I bought outright 2 years ago, i'm director and the mrs is company secretary, we have no staff and were both paid via basic PAYE and the rest dividends. Standard stuff really.
Now the mrs has been offered a really good job, which we just cant turn down really, and I would like to concentrate 100% on my other business.
The company is solvent, the banks in credit and we have no outstanding creditors. We have a pending county court small claim for about 500 quid from a local company who charged us for a service they didnt provide. I've submitted a defence and awaiting a hearing date.
So...
Can I simply shut this company down without liquidation proceedings? Is it as easy as that if your company is solvent.
I've spent last couple of hours searching around but not turned much up. Any advice appreciated, just to have some prior knowledge for friday really.
Cheers
