Company Restoration Services
WHAT HAS HAPPENED?
The Registrar of Companies can strike a company off the Register of Companies if it has failed to comply with the statutory filing requirements or the company itself can apply to be removed or struck off the Register.
If a company has been removed from the Register of Companies an application can be made to restore the company to the Register. The application can be made either as a Restoration by Court Order or as an Administrative Restoration.
Regrettably, if the company has been wound up by a liquidator we are unable to assist and advice should be sought from an Insolvency practitioner.
WHAT WE DO
Restoration by Court Order – Company applied to be struck by filing 652 or DS01
- A claims notice and witness statement will be drafted and forwarded to the claimant for approval and signature.
- The signed claim form will be issued and served on the Treasury Solicitor and Registrar Of Companies.
- We will advise what documents require to be lodged with the Registrar of Companies. These must be filed before the Court hearing.
- We will prepare the evidence of service and obtain the consent order from the Treasury Solicitor and then serve the consent order on the Registrar of Companies.
- We will liaise with the client regularly, and provide updates as and when we have any new information about the progress of the restoration.
WHAT IT COSTS
The cost of restoring a company by Court Order is:
- Court costs on issuing the claim form (currently £130)
- Treasury solicitor costs normally £300 but can increase if the restoration is complex or there are delays and adjournments such as the failure to lodge outstanding documents before the Court hearing
- The Registrar will issue late filing penalties relating to accounts that were overdue for filing at the date the company was struck off
- If annual returns are overdue the filing fee is £30 per annum. Occasionally the company may be required to change its name on restoration and if this is the case the cost of a name change is £10
- If the registered office of the dissolved company was situated in Lancashire or Cornwall at the date of strike off then there will be a charge of £125+VAT payable to the Duchy of Lancashire or Duke of Cornwall as appropriate.
- Our fees are £350+VAT.
