What this means for you

If you were a creditor

Dissolution does not extinguish a debt that was owed to you. You can apply to restore the company to the register within 6 years of dissolution (longer in some circumstances) so that a claim can be pursued.

If you held a contract

The contract terminates on dissolution. Any pre-dissolution unpaid sums survive as a claim that can only be pursued after the company is restored to the register.

If you held assets owned by the company

Assets owned by a dissolved company pass to the Crown as bona vacantia (vested in the Treasury Solicitor in England and Wales, or the King's and Lord Treasurer's Remembrancer in Scotland). Title can sometimes be recovered following a successful restoration application.

If you held a trademark or other registered IP

Registered intellectual property held in the company's name passes to the Crown alongside other assets. Trademark renewals lapse, opening the marks for re-registration after the relevant grace period.

Don't be the last to know next time

Most suppliers only find out a customer has failed once it is announced. By then it is too late. Protect monitors every company you sell to and emails you as the warning signs build, well before it becomes official. We can't stop a customer failing, but you'll never be the last to know, and you'll know you did all you could.
