To apply for administrative restoration:​

  • Eligibility: Ensure you were a director or shareholder at the time of dissolution, the company was dissolved by the Registrar within the last six years, and it was trading at the time of dissolution.

  • Application: Submit Form RT01 to Companies House, along with a £468 restoration fee.​

  • Compliance: Provide any outstanding documents, such as annual accounts or confirmation statements, and settle any penalties or fees owed.​

  • Consent: If the company had assets at the time of dissolution, obtain a waiver letter from the relevant Crown representative (Bona Vacantia division).

Once Companies House processes the application and confirms compliance, the company will be restored to the register.
