There’s a different process for people who want to liquidate their limited company in Scotland or wind up their company in Northern Ireland.The company will stop doing business and employing people. The company will not exist once it’s been removed from the companies register at Companies House.When a person liquidates a company, its assets are used to pay off its debts. Any money left goes to shareholders.The owner will need a validation order to access your company bank account.If that money has not been shared between the shareholders by the time the company is removed from the register, it will go to the state.The owner will need to restore their company to claim back money after it’s been removed from the register.
