Terms of Service

1. About the service

HowToCloseCompany.uk provides an informational and software service to help UK company directors understand and manage the process of closing a limited company. The service includes:

• An eligibility checker to help determine the most appropriate closure route
• A personalised step-by-step closure plan and task checklist
• Pre-filled document templates (board resolution, creditor letters, HMRC letters)
• Guides, articles, and checklists relating to UK company closure

2. Not legal or financial advice

The service does not provide legal advice, financial advice, or insolvency advice. Information provided is for general guidance only and may not reflect the most current legal or regulatory position. It is not a substitute for professional advice tailored to your specific circumstances.

For complex situations — particularly where your company is insolvent, has significant debts, ongoing legal proceedings, or substantial assets — you should consult a licensed insolvency practitioner, solicitor, or qualified accountant.

3. Eligibility to use the service

You must be aged 18 or over and a director or authorised officer of a UK limited company to use the paid features of this service. By creating an account, you confirm that you meet these requirements.

4. Payment and refunds

Paid plans are charged as a one-off payment (not a subscription). All prices are inclusive of VAT where applicable. Payment is processed securely by Stripe.

We offer a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you are not satisfied with the service within 30 days of purchase, contact us at hello@howtoclosecompany.uk and we will issue a full refund.

5. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Use the service for any unlawful purpose
• Attempt to gain unauthorised access to any part of the service or its infrastructure
• Reproduce, redistribute, or resell any part of the service without our written permission
• Provide false or misleading information to the service
• Use the service to assist with fraudulent or illegal company dissolution

6. Intellectual property

All content on HowToCloseCompany.uk — including text, guides, templates, and software — is our intellectual property or is licensed to us. You may use documents generated by the service for your own company closure only. You may not reproduce or redistribute our content commercially.

7. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we exclude all liability for:

• Any loss or damage arising from your use of, or inability to use, the service
• Any reliance you place on information provided through the service
• Any errors, omissions, or inaccuracies in the content or documents
• Any decisions you make based on the service, including Companies House or HMRC filings

Where liability cannot be excluded, our total liability to you shall not exceed the amount you paid for the service in the 12 months preceding the claim.

Nothing in these terms limits liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, or for fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that cannot be excluded under English law.

8. Availability

We aim to keep the service available at all times but do not guarantee uninterrupted access. We may suspend or withdraw the service for maintenance or other reasons without notice.

9. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.

10. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. Continued use of the service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated terms. The date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.
