I was told in order to close down a Ltd Co, you would need to appoint a liquidator (which costs a fair amount) IF the Ltd Co has more than £25,000 in assets.

What if the Ltd Co has less than £25,000?

Do you simply pay off all debts, take out the remaining cash, close the bank account and fill out a few forms to HMRC?

Companies house decides if you can close, you apply to them and they will help. HMRC do have to agree.

I just paid my bills, emptied the bank account (after arranging to pay company tax, private tax via SA) and asked for it to be struck off. Fairly painless
