Afaik a final set of accounts is just the same as a normal set of accounts but without any creditors / debtors in there.Originally posted by homer View PostHey,
Hope you guys can help. I am closing my Ltd Company and need to prepare final accounts. the problem is I don’t know how to do this and was hoping someone here could advise what info I need to put into creating final accounts.
I don’t think it will be very complex as i only ever traded for one month and so only have one invoice.
I heard i have to include my income, expenses and any loss/profits...?
I would let an accountant do it but my accountant wanted to charge me over £300 to close my ltd company down!
I thought that was a rip and done some research online and found out exactly what I need to do to close the company.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Also why not leave it open you may come back to it.
Just file a normal set of accounts for this year (can make the first year 18 months) then file dormant accounts for £15/year.
So even in 20 years you are still up on your £300.
