Company Restoration Process: How Long Does it Take?

Download the company restoration application form (PDF 69.9Kb).

To restore a struck off or dissolved company and continue trading you need to bring all of the company's affairs up to date.It is sometimes possible to make an application to release frozen cash or assets and immediately strike the company off again, which is less onerous and often more economically viable, as it avoids a full company restoration.

As online company restoration advisers and specialists we can assist you with the procedure for application to the Treasury solicitor and Registrar of Companies. We will deal with all of the legal matters and appoint experienced solicitors to submit your application to Court and the Registrar of Companies on your behalf.

In order to process the application forms you need to complete a simple questionnaire (PDF file 69.9Kb) in as much detail as possible.

Company restoration is normally subject to a 20-year limit (except for example where a personal injury claim is being brought) from when the company was struck off. Please be advised that until a court order has been obtained, the company will not be restored. This is not guaranteed and in any event is not automatic.
