Inactive and clean position
The company has stopped trading, has no live payroll or liabilities, and filings are already up to date.
The checker keeps the verdict in a lower risk band because the facts look closer to an orderly clean-up.
Practical compliance tool
Companies House Strike-Off Risk Checker
Assess whether the company facts point to a low, moderate, or high strike-off risk based on filing position, liabilities, and trading status.
The checker is designed to flag whether the company is drifting toward a Companies House clean-up or strike-off problem rather than simply a late filing issue.
Companies House Strike-Off Risk Checker
Assess whether the company facts point to a low, moderate, or high strike-off risk based on filing position, liabilities, and trading status.
What the strike-off verdict is screening for
The result combines overdue filings with operating facts such as liabilities, payroll activity, and whether trading has really stopped.
That gives a practical view of whether the position looks manageable, exposed, or incompatible with an informal strike-off plan.
Rule summary
What tends to increase strike-off risk
Strike-off risk is higher where filings are overdue, liabilities remain unsettled, or the company is still trading or operating payroll obligations.
A clean strike-off path usually depends on filings being in order and the company genuinely having reached the right end-state for dissolution.
Worked examples
How the result behaves in practice
Overdue and still active
The company is still carrying liabilities, active obligations, and overdue filings at the same time.
The checker pushes the result into a high-risk verdict because the facts are inconsistent with a simple strike-off route.
Turn the result into an action plan
Bring overdue filings into view before assuming strike-off is the right path.
If the company is already in a stressed position, open the dissolution timeline or appeal tools next.
Use the calendar or timeline tools to turn the verdict into an ordered remediation sequence.

This guide explains the facts that make a company look clean for strike-off versus the facts that make strike-off riskier or inappropriate.
Assumptions and limits
This tool is a heuristic checker and should be treated as a high-level screen rather than a formal opinion.
Assumptions
- The inputs entered are complete and reflect the facts for the relevant filing, tax, or compliance period.
- The tool is used for a standard scenario rather than a specialist exception, relief, or disputed case.
Limits and rule basis
- This tool does not replace detailed professional review where the facts are unusual or contested.
- If the underlying rule depends on reliefs, appeals, or special handling, the real outcome may differ.
