What company restoration actually is.
Companies get struck off for missed filings, forgotten confirmations, or a tidy-up that was too tidy. If the company still owns a property, a tax refund or a cause of action, you may need it back on the register. We handle restorations and the accounts and filings that follow.

Company Restoration
Who it is usually for
Directors who missed a filing
The company vanished. The bank account and the contract did not.
Buyers of a name or a number
A restoration conversation before you spend on a newco.
Three steps, start to finish.
No onboarding theatre. We scope it in writing, put a named accountant on it, and tell you the date it lands.
- 01
Why restore?
Asset, name, claim, or unfinished business. If there is no reason, we will say so.
- 02
Apply
Companies House or court, depending on the facts.
- 03
Rehabilitate
Accounts, confirmation statements, tax. Then you can use the company again.
In plain English
Company Restoration, written properly
Restoration is a process, not a phone call
A company struck off can sometimes be restored administratively if you move quickly and the facts fit. That unlocks the bank, the contracts and the tax history. We scope whether restoration is possible, what filings are missing, and whether a new company is actually cleaner. Then we do the paperwork.
Do not trade through a ghost
If the company is dissolved and you are still invoicing, stop and call. The personal risk is the story, not the form fee. We will tell you the order of operations in one sitting.
Company Restoration FAQs
Administrative restoration can be a matter of weeks if the file is complete. Court restoration takes longer and needs a solicitor.
Sometimes. There are restrictions on reusing a name after insolvency. We check before you file.
Often yes. Budget for them. Restoration is still cheaper than losing a property or a refund.
