Companies House Move to Online Strike-Off Objections: Is Your Credit Control Ready?

Published on 16^th October 2026

Companies House has confirmed that effective 1st December 2026, email submissions for company strike-off objections will be completely phased out. Moving forward, all objections must be submitted via the GOV.UK online service with digital evidence attached.

For credit managers in the construction sector, this change highlights the critical importance of early debtor monitoring.

Key Takeaways for Top Service Members:

• Strict Evidence Requirements: Supporting evidence (such as unpaid invoices less than 6 months old) must be uploaded digitally.
• Time is of the Essence: You only have 2 months from the date of the Gazette notice to object before a company is dissolved.
• Automated Protection: Top Service continuously cross-references member data with Companies House filings to alert you the moment a debtor applies for strike-off, ensuring you never miss a deadline.
