By Jerry Phillips


In the world of business, there is no guarantee that your companies will remain intact for the rest of your life. Only a fewer ones remain intact, most of them dissolves in time. It is pretty unusual to find firms that requests to restore their dissolved company, but knowing how to do it is good just in case you find yourself restoring a dissolved company.

Dissolving companies is a process done to close down a limited company. This removes the name of firm from the official register. Once it will be removed, your firm no longer exist legally in the eyes of the law. The following below is a step by step guide on how will you be able to restore the company back.

First, check if you are qualified to apply. Before you start applying for one, make sure that you are qualified for an administrative restoration. You will only be qualified when the reasons the company has been shut down is due to not being able to file a confirmation statement, they think that your firm is dysfunctional, failed to make a response to the law with what is the current status.

You only will be fit to apply when the person who requested to dissolve it is either a director or a shareholder at the time of disperse. If such application was requested within six years from the exact date of being dissolved. Lastly, the company was still in operation when it was decided to disperse.

Now, when those conditions will not be met, there is still hope for you. Some of the other options available that you may do is by filling it via court order. The only individuals who can do this is from a party who is not a former director or shareholder. One good example would be the creditors, with them the chances of a successful petition is higher.

The claim form along with the witness statement could only be filed at court in the usual manner while being accompanied by a court fee. Then, serve it to the Registrar of Companies and Treasury Solicitor. It is important to secure a receipt for documentation purposes and make sure that it reaches to the Registrar of Companies or it could be delayed, this is something you would not want to happen.

After the form and witness statement reaches its way to the Treasury Solicitor, they will be advising you on what are the documents needed by the ROC. They may or may not require some eyewitness statements and another documentation just to understand the point of application. In fact, different undertaking is going to be required.

For every outstanding documents you have a penalty is given to you. To get rid of those, you need to pay for it. There is also a statutory penalty to pay, this happens in particular when your account was filed late. Once you already have sent all the paperwork, CH will then process the application for you.

Wait for a notice of restoration. This can only be received when the application was a success. Once processed, the firm will immediately appear on the register again. But, it will remain on the record that it was once dissolved. This history can be found on the website of the CH.
