# COMPANY DISSOLUTION NOTICE

Date: 14 October 2031

Parties: Hawthorn Studio Limited, its members and creditors

## 1. Purpose and parties

Hawthorn Studio Limited, company number 11820476, gives notice that its members resolved on 14 October 2031 to seek voluntary strike-off because its design business ceased on 30 September 2031. Directors Laura Chen and Yusuf Ali believe, after a current balance-sheet review, that the company can pay all debts.

## 2. Facts, scope and terms

The company has £18,420 in its bank account, £6,800 due to HMRC, £2,140 owed to PixelPrint Ltd and £3,900 of final employee wages and holiday pay. It owns no client deposits or stock and will not distribute any surplus until creditors, tax, employees and filing costs are paid.

## 3. Process and responsibilities

Laura will submit the prescribed Companies House application, notify members, creditors, employees and relevant authorities within the statutory period, close the bank account only after cheques clear and preserve accounting and employment records. Yusuf will obtain final payroll and VAT confirmations.

## 4. Evidence, records and safeguards

The notice bundle contains the resolution, signed solvency statement, creditor list, bank reconciliation, payroll report and last accounts. Any creditor may object to the strike-off, and the directors will not use dissolution to avoid a debt, investigation, claim or statutory filing.

## 5. Review, escalation and outcome

If a material debt or dispute emerges, the directors will withdraw or suspend the application and take insolvency advice. Creditors may contact Laura at the registered office, and a member may request an explanation of payments; confidential payroll and client data will be disclosed only lawfully.

## 6. Reservations and practical protections

The directors understand that restoration may be possible if the company is dissolved but should not be treated as a guaranteed remedy. They will not trade after cessation except to collect assets, complete an orderly handover and discharge liabilities.

## 7. England and Wales law and completion

This completed fictional notice is governed by England and Wales law and records the resolution on 14 October 2031. It is not itself the Companies House form or confirmation of dissolution; copies of service and every filing receipt are retained.
