Company restoration · Northern Ireland
Need to recover company assets, access a frozen bank account or resume trading? Our Belfast team will help you find the right restoration route.
The route depends on the circumstances
Check the company above or request a quote below. We’ll confirm the route, costs and next steps.
Where the statutory conditions are met
Typically used where Companies House struck the company off for not filing accounts or a confirmation statement and it was still trading at the time. A six-year limit applies.
Other applicable statutory fees are charged separately.
Where administrative restoration is unavailable
This may apply where the company was voluntarily struck off or does not meet the administrative-restoration conditions. A six-year limit generally applies, with a longer period for certain personal-injury claims.
Common questions
Accounts not filed. Companies House may dissolve a company that does not submit its annual accounts on time.
Confirmation statement missed. Failing to file the required confirmation statement can trigger strike-off action.
Voluntary dissolution. The directors may have closed the company and later discovered remaining assets or liabilities.
Other non-compliance. Other regulatory failures can also lead to compulsory strike-off.
Once dissolved, a company ceases to exist as a legal entity. Its bank accounts may be frozen and company assets may pass to the Crown as bona vacantia. Restoration returns the company to the register so those matters can be addressed.
