    You need a solicitor - s/he is obliged to give you an indication of cost before finalising instructions. Go ask.

    Hi

    I assume you are a director of this company.

    The first point is as pedrobar suggests you need a solicitor.

    Secondly, as a director of the company you have potentially allowed a proportion of its assets to be lost/put beyond use. This has potential consequences for you and means that it is far too risky to allow this company to go into liquidation.

    So your only option to make sure everyone is paid up and the company having no assets or liabilities can go for a voluntary strike off. By what you are saying the liabilities of the company are not huge and if you need to put money in to pay off the creditors it can be done.

    Otherwise you take out your injunction and keep the company alive until the whole thing is properly resolved.

    Is this a limited company or are you a sole trader?

    How much is owed in rent? I presume you signed a lease and are breaking it early due to the business issues?

    I would be with the landlord in this situation, he has locked you out and has an effective lien on the goods, pay him what he is owed and take your stuff, seems fair enough to me!
