The Essentials

What is Company Restoration?

Company restoration is the process of returning a company that has been dissolved or struck off back to the register, so that it once again exists as an active legal entity.

Depending on the jurisdiction and how the company was dissolved, restoration may be available by application to the companies registry or through the courts.

Once restored, a company is generally treated as having continued in existence, allowing it to recover assets, resume trading and meet its obligations.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is company restoration?
It is the process of returning a company that has been dissolved or struck off to the register, so that it once again exists as an active legal entity.
Why do companies get struck off?
Companies are commonly struck off for missed filings, failure to respond to the registry, or voluntary dissolution. In some cases this happens in error.
Can any company be restored?
Not always. Eligibility and the available route depend on the jurisdiction, how the company was dissolved and how much time has passed. We assess this at the outset.
What is the difference between administrative and court restoration?
Administrative restoration is an application to the registry where criteria are met; court restoration is a court application used where administrative restoration is not available.
Can I recover assets after restoration?
Assets that passed to the state on dissolution can often be recovered once a company is restored, subject to the applicable rules and process.
How long does restoration take?
Timeframes vary considerably by jurisdiction and route. We give you a realistic estimate once we have reviewed your case.
Which jurisdictions do you support?
We coordinate restoration primarily in the United Kingdom and Ireland, and in selected other jurisdictions through our network.
Do you handle the whole process?
Yes. We prepare the documentation, liaise with the registry or court and support you through to restoration and beyond.
