Active - Proposal to strike off
Permalink  

Hi, I used to work for a client a few years ago. He has approached me again recently to ask if I would do the books for him again. Since we last did business he has now created a limited company.

I've done a search on Companies House and it states that the company is "Active - Proposal to Strike Off". This is the first time that I have encountered this. The details state that the return was due 30/09/2012 and is overdue.

He has informed me that his accountant is currently doing the 2012 return (late!)

Would this late filing of the return be the reason for it to be striked off?

Should I not sign up this client incase the company is striked off, or should I wait till the status changes (will this happen automatically if the return is filed?)

The client wants me to do work back dating to April 2012, and then monthly thereafter. I'm just not sure whether I should be stearing clear.

Any advice greatly appreciated.

This could be due to the fact the Annual Return is late in rather than the accounts and is a reason for this status on Companies House. If you are not sure about the client, could you ask for a deposit up front ?

Kind regards

Thanks Zoe,

I am considering asking for payment up front, especially as need to back date so much.
