Administrative Restoration of a Dissolved Company

If your company has been dissolved or struck off the Companies House register, you may be able to restore it and continue trading.

Restoring a company to the register isn't too complicated but you should be aware of certain conditions surrounding the registration, and if you are not familiar with the process it can seem complex, but Coddan’s professional reinstatement services ensure a smooth and hassle-free restoration.

If your private company has been dissolved, you can apply to Companies House to get it restored to the register. This is a process known as administrative restoration, and only applies if: you were a director or shareholder in the dissolved company; the limited company was still trading at the time it was dissolved and if it was taken off the register within the last six years.

If you don't fulfil the above requirements, don't fret; the company can still be restored, but the process will just take longer, as it will have to go through the court order application.

The application for administrative restoration is fairly simple, and requires the completion of an application form, the supply of relevant documentation and the payment of Restoration fee and any outstanding fees due to the Companies House.

Finally, if the company had assets, a waiver letter will be required from Bona Vacantia (meaning vacant goods) as those assets go by law to the crown if they are deemed as owner-less. The form is the application itself for 'administrative restoration', so you will need to make sure it is filled out correctly. All of this being done and in order means you will then have to wait for a confirmation letter from the chief registrar.

Average time for the Registrar of Companies to consider your application is about 3 weeks after which, application is filed with the Companies House and the Company is reinstated back to the Good Standing with the Registrar.
