Advice on returning to permanent employment

Definitely don't rush to close the company down.

You may find that after a couple of months back in permie land you want to go contracting again (seen it happen more than a few times...)

An alternative would be to leave the company in place and use any remaining cash to fund pension contributions until it runs out or you decide to go back to contracting again.

Indeed. We tend to recommend keeping the company open at least until any probationary period is complete. That way you know they're not about to kick you out, and also you'll have a good enough flavour of the work/people to be confident you're happy with it for the medium-long term.
