Make an objection

To object online you need:

  • the limited company number of the company that is being struck off - get information about a limited company
  • your supporting documents in a digital format (these must be images, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Word or PDF files)

Your supporting documents must:

  • be less than 6 months old
  • clearly show the full name of the company, including the correct name ending - for example 鈥榣imited鈥� or 鈥榣td鈥�
  • support your reason for objecting, for example invoices proving the company owes you money
  • be less than 4MB in size

You must object before the company is struck off the register. The Gazette notice will say when the company will be struck off. It will be either:聽

  • 2 months from the date in the notice
  • 28 days from the date in the notice

You must have a Companies House account to make an objection online. You can create an account before you start if you do not have one.

Other ways to object

Contact Companies House if you cannot object online or need support because of a disability or health condition.

You might get support to use the service, or be able to object by email or post. If you object by email or post, your objection will need to arrive at least 2 weeks before the company will be struck off.
