The time it takes to dissolve a limited company in the UK is generally **15 to 20 business days**, provided all necessary steps are completed correctly and there are no objections or delays.

### Timeline for Dissolving a Limited Company:
1. **Preparation Stage**: Directors must ensure that all debts are cleared, employees are paid, and company assets are distributed. Properly managing this stage is critical to avoid objections or complications later.
2. **Filing the DS01 Form**: Once preparations are complete, the **DS01 form** is submitted to Companies House.
3. **Processing Period**: After Companies House receives the form and publishes a notice in the **Gazette**, a 2-month period is typically allowed for objections. However, under standard circumstances and with no objections, the dissolution process can be expedited to **15 to 20 business days**.

### Factors That May Affect the Timeline:
– **Objections from Stakeholders**: If creditors or shareholders raise concerns during the notice period, it can delay the process.
– **Incomplete Documentation**: Errors in the DS01 form or missing supporting documents can also slow down the process.
