Administrative Restoration of a Company

Administrative restoration is the process of reinstating a company to the Register at Companies House following its removal due to compulsory dissolution. This can occur when a company fails to file required documents or comply with statutory obligations, leading to its removal from the Register.

At Company Restorations, we specialise in administrative restoration services, helping businesses navigate the complexities of reinstatement and regain their legal status. Our experienced team understands the intricacies of the restoration process and works diligently to ensure a swift and successful outcome for our clients.

To be eligible for administrative restoration, the company must satisfy certain criteria which we will check during your application. These criteria are as follows:

  • The company was struck off by the Registrar of Companies under sections 1000 or 1001 of the Companies Act 2006 (or, before that, section 652 of the Companies Act 1985).
  • The application is made by a former director or member (shareholder) of a dissolved company.
  • The application is being made within 6 years of the date of company dissolution.
  • The company was in business, operating or trading at the time it was dissolved.

However, if you don’t meet the above criteria you can apply for a Court Order Restoration.

The statutory documents and items involved in an administrative restoration application are as follows:

  • A completed application for administrative restoration (RT01 Form).
  • Any outstanding documents, such as accounts or confirmation statements
    (previously annual returns).
  • Any filing fees or penalty payments.
  • A Bona Vacantia waiver letter.

The administrative restoration method usually takes 3-5 weeks to complete once all paperwork is correctly completed and filed. Compared to company restoration by court order, administrative restoration is a quicker method if eligible.

  • £64 Treasury Solicitors fee.
  • £468 Registrar of Companies fee.
  • £195 + VAT Our fee.
  • Confirmation Statement (previously annual return) filing fees and late filing penalties, if applicable see Additional Disbursements.

Please note all outstanding accounts and confirmation statements (previously annual returns) must be brought up to date and filed. Any late filing penalties will still apply and will need to be paid in order for the company to be restored.
