It takes Companies House two to three months to dissolve a company. Several documents must be signed by the director(s) to dissolve a company. If there are no such personnel involved, then one of the designated partners of the company may sign the document.
When the Registrar of Companies receives an application to dissolve a company, they post it in the newspaper. Anyone who objects can write a letter and send it to them within three months. If no one gives any objections during the appropriate timeframe, the Registrar of Companies will dissolve the company.
