Whether your startup didn’t take off or you’re ready for your next move, shutting down a company is often more confusing and costly than it needs to be. That’s where [Close Easy](https://closeeasy.co.uk/) comes in. Founded by [Toby Savill](https://www.linkedin.com/in/toby-savill-138a7b105/?originalSubdomain=uk) , Close Easy streamlines the company closure process, helping founders shut down their UK businesses properly, affordably and stress-free – no solicitor required. In this conversation, SeedLegals CEO and Co-Founder [Anthony Rose](https://seedlegals.com/resources/author/anthony/) chats with Toby about voluntary strike-offs, avoiding unexpected tax bills, and how Close Easy is making company closures as smooth as a startup launch. # **Key takeaways** ## **The problem with closing a company** - Founders often find company closure daunting, confusing, and expensive – especially after a failed venture. - Many aren’t aware of the proper process for closing a limited company and may accidentally make costly mistakes (like not properly dissolving the company or notifying HMRC). - Professional help has traditionally been pricey and inaccessible to early-stage founders or solo entrepreneurs. ## **Close Easy’s solution** - Close Easy makes shutting down a company simple and affordable, providing a step-by-step platform with expert guidance. - The service walks founders through every part of the closure process: director resolutions, filing with Companies House, and more. - It’s designed for UK founders who want to close cleanly, without legal headaches or excessive costs. ## **Traction and growth** - The platform is aimed at early-stage founders, solo entrepreneurs, and side hustlers looking to exit gracefully. - As more startups face tough decisions in a shifting economic climate, Close Easy is scaling to meet demand for fast, founder-friendly shutdowns. ##### SeedLegals events ### Connect with fascinating founders Sign up to our newsletter and get the best of SeedLegals events delivered directly to your inbox.
