So i started a clothing company 2 years ago with a family member and set it up as a limited one. We never earnt over 3k a year and the accounts was never done, although he told me he was doing them. I never knew you could do them your self as i was young so the company dissolved, the bank account froze and cant get the money. I dont feel its worth paying the £1000+ to restore as i have to pay a lot of fees. He bought all the stock so is that all his or can i still sell. I havent spoken to him for months as hes ignoring me.

Is it better for me to:

Set up as sole trader

Will i be able to use the same name

Will i be able to get the money back at all
