Frequently Asked Questions

What happens after a company is restored?Xact+ Accountants2025-03-06T22:47:11+01:00

What happens after a company is restored?

Upon restoration, the company is deemed to have continued in existence as if it had not been dissolved or struck off. This means it can resume business activities, recover assets, and is subject to all obligations as before dissolution. It’s essential to update company records, inform relevant authorities, and ensure compliance with any outstanding regulatory requirements.

How long does the company restoration process take?

The duration varies depending on the method:

Administrative Restoration: Typically takes around 3 to 4 weeks, provided all necessary documents are submitted promptly.
Court Restoration: Can take between 8 to 12 weeks, depending on court schedules and the complexity of the case.

What is the process for administrative restoration?

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.

What are the methods for restoring a dissolved company?Xact+ Accountants2025-03-06T22:41:59+01:00

What are the methods for restoring a dissolved company?

There are two primary methods to restore a dissolved company:

Administrative Restoration: Applicable if the company was struck off by the Registrar of Companies within the last six years and was trading at the time of dissolution. This process is initiated by a former director or shareholder without the need for a court order.
Court Restoration: Required if the company doesn’t meet the criteria for administrative restoration, such as voluntary dissolution by directors. This process involves applying to the court to have the company reinstated.
