## How to read these records

### What “dissolved post-merger” means

Under the Companies Act 2014, a company can be merged into another: its assets, liabilities, contracts and records
pass to the successor company, and it is dissolved without going into liquidation.

### What the record does not say

Which company is the successor, and how many people the merged company employed.

### What is not here

Names of directors or any individual. Street addresses. Companies in liquidation or listed for strike-off.

**Did your company absorb this one?**

The internal data of a company that employed 50 people or more (Slack or Microsoft Teams archive, documentation, project histories) may still have value after it has stopped operating.

[Check whether this company’s data qualifies →](/pro.md) We are paid by the buyer if a partnership is signed, never by the company. Whether personal data in those archives can be transferred is a legal question for whoever controls them. Not affiliated with the Companies Registration Office.
