UK Goop's UK operations threatened with shutdown - Consciously uncouple this Gwynnie!

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-57169730

Gwyneth Paltrow's controversial health and wellness company Goop has been warned it could be shut down in the UK after failing to file its accounts.
Goop was originally set up in Britain when Ms Paltrow lived there with her ex-husband, Coldplay's Chris Martin.
But when they "consciously uncoupled" in 2014, she moved the headquarters of the brand to the US.
This is the second time Ms Paltrow's firm has received such a notice, after failing to file its annual accounts.
Goop Inc Ltd was first incorporated at Companies House, the UK's official register of companies, in August 2011.

• NHS urges caution over Paltrow's long Covid regime
• NHS chief slams Paltrow's health claims on Netflix
• What is the science behind The Goop Lab's claims?

Following her divorce in 2014, Ms Paltrow moved the firm to the US and launched six retail stores in New York, San Francisco, Montecito, Santa Monica and Hawaii.

At the time, Goop's UK directors stepped down and Ms Paltrow was appointed director.
The company became dormant in December 2017. Two years later, Companies House issued its first notice warning of a compulsory strike-off.
She objected and submitted abridged accounts for 2019 last July, but a first notice was once again issued in April for the 2020 accounts filing.
The dissolution of Goop Inc Ltd has once again been temporarily put on hold, giving the firm more time to submit its accounts.
Should Goop fail to do so, the firm will be struck off the register and all property and rights will belong to the Crown.
The lifestyle and beauty brand, reportedly worth £190m ($250m), has attracted controversy over its wellness tips and therapies that some critics call "pseudoscience".
In January, the NHS criticised Ms Paltrow's six-part Netflix series The Goop Lab, which saw doctors, researchers and alternative health practitioners investigate practices ranging from "energy exorcisms" to the use of psychedelic drugs in the treatment of mental-health disorders.

Should Goop fail to do so, the firm will be struck off the register and all property and rights will belong to the Crown.

Gwyneth Paltrow's vag could soon be legal property of The Queen.

Gwyneth Paltrow is just a less attractive, less talented and less sane version of Michelle Pfeiffer.

How the hell can you not file your goddamn papers? Isn't this what attorneys and the like are for?

I didn't know being a goop head was an actual thing I just thought that was another one of Sam's ill thought out post-MDE jokes.
"energy exorcisms" sound like some scientology shit.

goop's existence makes me think women should not be allowed to handle money
then again, the same can be said about onlyfans' existence and men
maybe the plebs really were better off when they were living in perpetual poverty

What the OnlyFans whores who make actual bank with their simpbux confirms that to me.

Because much like when BLM tried to register as a charity in the UK they fail to realise that how you define your company makes a fairly massive difference. You can't just pull a Clinton Foundation and think no-one will ever notice.

This doesn't sound quite like that but with the directors cutting and running it stinks like there was something rotten in the state of Denmark and they left her holding the can.

GOOD attorneys.... yes.

But something tells me a person who thinks vagina candles spread good vibes.... isn't perhaps the best at hiring a decent lawyer.


The sad thing is, the shutdown is due to a dumb paperwork SNAFU, not the fact the snake oil they sell doesn't work....

The Crown will take your pussy candles?

The dissolution of Goop Inc Ltd has once again been temporarily put on hold, giving the firm more time to submit its accounts.

You can view the company's filing history at Companies House, and it shows the company is in compulsory strike off, but there has been an objection to this; typically, the objector will be a creditor of the company, as if the company is struck off, then its assets would indeed belong to the Crown. The creditor would have to go to court to get the company reinstated to then attempt to get their money back, which would inevitably be costly. So they object to its strike off in order to get time to seek action against the company.

But this article makes it sound like Gwyneth Paltrow herself asked for more time to sort the accounts.

Prior to that, the article states:

She objected and submitted abridged accounts for 2019 last July

The company was in compulsory strike off previously because its accounts hadn't been submitted. The accounts then got submitted. The company was thus taken out of compulsory strike off. There's no objecting here, just submitting the documents you're supposed to.
