Restoration of Dissolved Companies
The Registrar of Companies has the power to strike
a company off the register if it defaults in its statutory duty to lodge
the appropriate annual returns or accounts at Companies House on time.
Although the Registrar will send various reminders, it is possible that
a company may be struck off before the owners have the chance to recover
assets in the company's name or close bank accounts. This may happen
for instance where a director has been absent for a prolonged period
of time due to illness.
If your company has been dissolved, and there are
assets or monies in the company's name, you will need to take prompt
action to have the company restored to the Register. Such action requires
the preparation of affidavits and statements to be presented to the
Courts, and as this requires the assistance of a Solicitor, the process
can often become protracted and expensive.
We have negotiated special arrangements with lawyers
who can handle your application swiftly and at most reasonable costs.
As each case varies in complexity, costs are difficult to determine
without knowledge of the exact circumstances. However, as a guide, a
straight forward application to restore a company struck off for non-compliance
of routine filing requirements is likely to cost around £1400+VAT,
including all court costs and disbursements. If you need to discuss
your situation, please contact us directly or complete the form below,
and we shall be happy to advise you of the best course of action and
give you a more accurate idea of the cost applicable to your specific
circumstances.
