Company restoration · Northern Ireland
Restore a dissolved Northern Ireland company with help from our Belfast team. Check your company below to explore administrative restoration or restoration by court order, then request confirmation of the route and costs.
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.
BELFAST TEAM · ESTABLISHED 1994
The Company Shop was established in 1994. Our Belfast team has helped restore dissolved businesses and can guide you through the next steps for a Northern Ireland company. We start with the company record and your reason for restoration, then confirm the appropriate route and the work required.
We check the company status, dissolution date and reason for strike-off.
We identify the restoration route and any outstanding company filings.
We prepare the application and coordinate supporting paperwork within the agreed scope.
We explain any waiver, court or professional involvement needed for your circumstances.
For court restoration, we confirm the professional involvement and responsibilities as part of your tailored quote.
Start with what you know. We can help fill in the gaps.
We can help fill in any missing information.
Administrative restoration from
£985 + VAT
Including the RT01 filing fee
Other applicable statutory fees are charged separately. Outstanding filing fees, late-filing penalties and any additional work can affect the total.
We confirm the scope and costs before work starts. Court-order restoration is quoted individually.
The timescale depends on the route, the completeness of the records and responses from the organisations involved.
Outstanding accounts and any required waiver can add time to an administrative application. Court restoration also depends on court procedure and availability.
We discuss the likely timescale after reviewing the company. A completion date cannot be guaranteed.
Restoration generally treats the company as having continued in existence. Recovering a bank balance or dealing with property may still require further steps with the bank or relevant authority.
Check the company’s filing position and registered office details, and keep future accounts and confirmation statements up to date.
Our company administration service can help with ongoing filings.
For a fuller explanation, read our guide to restoring a dissolved company. Official requirements are set out in Companies House restoration guidance.
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.
