Question 1

Can a dissolved company be restored?

Accepted Answer

Yes, a dissolved company can potentially be restored to the Companies House register. The available procedure depends on how and when the company was dissolved and who is applying. We can assess the circumstances and explain the likely route.

Question 2

Can you tell me whether I need administrative or court restoration?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Determining the likely route is part of our free initial assessment. You do not need to work out the restoration procedure before contacting us.

Question 3

Do I need a solicitor?

Accepted Answer

Not for every restoration. Some companies qualify for administrative restoration without a court application. Where court restoration or legal work is required, we will identify this and can help coordinate the appropriate specialist support.

Question 4

What if my accounts are overdue?

Accepted Answer

Outstanding accounts and other filings may need to be dealt with before restoration can be completed. We can identify what appears to be required and coordinate specialist accountancy assistance where necessary. We do not prepare statutory accounts ourselves.

Question 5

What if the company was voluntarily dissolved?

Accepted Answer

This can affect the restoration route and may mean administrative restoration is not available. Send us the company details and we will assess the circumstances and explain the appropriate next steps.

Question 6

How long does company restoration take?

Accepted Answer

Timescales depend on the restoration route, the company’s filing position, third-party requirements and whether specialist work is needed. We will give you a realistic indication after reviewing the case; a particular timescale cannot be guaranteed.

Question 7

How much does company restoration cost?

Accepted Answer

Costs depend on the restoration route and what needs to be rectified. Our initial assessment is free and we provide a clear, no-obligation quotation before you decide whether to proceed. Statutory fees and third-party professional costs will be identified separately where applicable.

Question 8

What happens when a company is restored?

Accepted Answer

Once restored, a company is generally treated as having continued in existence as though it had not been dissolved, subject to the applicable legal provisions and any court orders.

Question 9

Can you help if company assets were affected by dissolution?

Accepted Answer

Potentially. The treatment of company assets following dissolution can affect the restoration process. Tell us what has happened and we will identify the appropriate route and whether specialist assistance is required.
