UK Company Restoration
Your company ceases to legally exist when it is dissolved or subject to a compulsory strike-off by the UK Registrar at Companies House. We can restore your company to the register by Administrative Restoration process or by Court Order.
The main reason to restore your UK company is to continue trading or to release company assets such as property or funds from a frozen bank account.
A UK company struck off and dissolved by the Registrar of Companies can be restored through an Administrative Restoration within 6 years of Dissolution date.
