Closing out a business

Looking for advice, I am trying to strike a uk business off the companies house register.
It has not traded in over 4 years although still active on companies house. There are 2 shareholders, no creditors or employees. The bank account has been closed and  there have been no transactions in over 2 years. The balance sheet shows as negative £7k as this is the  shareholders investment. They are happy to lose this.  Do I literally log in to companies house, file the accounts up to today and then apply to strike off and dissolve?
