A dormant company<\/a> is a business that\u2019s registered with Companies House and HMRC but doesn\u2019t do any trading\/business. Some people might set up a dormant company for different reasons, like protecting a business name, holding onto an asset, or getting ready for a future project.<\/p>\n

When you don\u2019t want unwanted costs, getting rid of your dormant companies can cut down on admin and audit costs and make things clearer for finance professionals. Even though there are some good things about owning a dormant company, there are also some downsides.<\/p>\n

For example, the head of a dormant company still has to do management tasks like sending dormant statements and a yearly confirmation letter to Companies House. So, even if your company isn\u2019t doing business, these tasks still need to be done.<\/p>\n
