The data of a company about to be struck off
For directors and group secretaries. Once a company is dissolved, what it still owns passes to the Crown. Its Slack or Microsoft Teams archive can be dealt with before that.
The buyer we refer to is micro1. Its program for companies that have stopped operating asks for 50 employees or more at the peak and a substantial Slack or Teams archive, mostly in English (criteria shown to its referral partners on 12 October 2026).
Referral link: micro1 pays this site a commission if a partnership is signed. The company pays nothing; the contract is between the company and micro1, on its terms.
What to know first
- An asset that is rarely listed — the Slack or Microsoft Teams archive, internal documentation and project histories of a company that employed 50 people or more at its peak. Specialised buyers license this kind of data for AI training.
- Who decides — the directors, while the company exists. Internal messages contain personal data of former employees: whether and how they can be transferred is a legal question for the company and the buyer (UK GDPR), not something this site can settle or promise.
- Why before the strike-off — on dissolution, what the company still owns passes to the Crown, and its workspaces are usually closed.
- What we do — tell us which company and roughly how many people it employed; we answer with whether it fits and what to do next. We are paid by the buyer if a partnership is signed, never by the company.

Not sure the company qualifies? Ask first
Three things are enough: the company, roughly how many people it employed at its peak, and whether a Slack or Teams archive still exists. No payment is taken on this site.
