Crowd2Fund Late Accounts And “Strike-Off” Threat

You've not heard anything from us on Crowd2Fund for a while.
Crowd2Fund hasn't been in a position to provide detailed data to us to the standard we require and has not provided any data for a very long time. It's resources seem too stretched to enable us to conduct any serious ongoing assessment of their people, processes and results.
It does seem most likely that it's stretched resources that is the cause. That's probably the cause of it receiving what's called its “First Gazette notice for compulsory strike-off” on the UK's companies registrar, Companies House, which you can see online.
While it's always something to monitor very carefully – especially at a platform that seems to have struggled to grow and head towards profitability, it does happen from time to time that company accounts are filed late and strike-off notices are put on a P2P lending platform's file at Companies House.
Crowd2Fund's finance director says that its accounts will leave audit and he expects them to be filed at Companies House by the end of the month. We currently have no reason not to believe what he's saying.
We've seen that platforms filing late are typically stretched for resources, but we've not yet seen demonstrable correlation between late filing/strike-off notices and poor results for individual lenders.
