Restoring a Limited Company Through the Court Order

If your limited company has been dissolved and you wish to resume operations under the same name, there are procedures you can follow to reactivate the business. Provided that specific criteria are satisfied, you can submit a request to Companies House to reinstate the company.

However, there are instances where this option may not be available. Only a director or shareholder is authorized to request reinstatement, and this is only applicable if the company was removed from the register within the last six years. Additionally, the business must have been actively trading at the time of its dissolution.

Nonetheless, there are alternative methods to reinstate the company even if the aforementioned conditions are not fulfilled, and the experts at Coddan can assist you in this process. A court order may be obtained, which would permit others to access a dormant business or facilitate the re-entry of an older company into the register. Any individual with a vested interest in the business, whether through connection or investment, can submit a request for the reinstatement of a dissolved company.
