We are able to assist and advise on the restoration process to put your company back on the companies register.

Company Restoration Process

In order for a struck off company to be restored by the Belize Registry the following fees must be paid:

  • Pay all the annual government fees it would have paid as if it had remained active
  • Pay the government restoration fee to the Belize International Business Companies Registry
  • Payment of all unpaid Registered Agent fees

When all the fees and penalties are paid, the Registrar shall restore the company to the register and upon the restoration the company shall be deemed never to have been struck off.

If your company is not restored within 3 years of being struck off it will be involuntarily dissolved by the Belize registry.

Restoration Time Limits

5 years – Belize company can be restored by administrative restoration.

After five years – The company is involuntarily dissolved by the Belize registry. The company can then only be restored through the Courts and the application must be made within ten years of the date the company was dissolved.

Effect of a company being Struck Off

A company struck off the register is unauthorised to trade and is not in Good Standing. The company still remains liable for all claims, debts, liabilities and obligations it has but the liability of the shareholders, directors, shareholders and agents remains limited.

Transferring Belize Registered Agent

A Belize company can only be restored by the registered agent on record, or the agent must be changed to a new agent undertaking the company restoration, which we will organise.

Company Directors and Shareholders

When a Belize company is restored, the previous Directors, Company Secretary and the Shareholders are automatically assumed to have continued.
