    The prior strike off actions seem to relate to late filing of accounts and returns. Companies House takes this step when a company appears like it may no longer be trading. If it happened once or twice you might write it off as an administrative error but here it has happened 5 times since 2021!
    So does this basically just mean they’re 💩 at admin and don’t do it unless forced to ? 
    This is the sort of thing that happens when companies are close to going bust.

    Or struggling to find accountants to sign off the accounts. At least they've not (yet) played the filing day adjustment trick to avoid filing their accounts
    Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.
