Legal Advice on Restoring Companies to the Register
A company that has been dissolved or struck off the Companies House register may, in certain circumstances, be restored. Company restoration is a legal process governed by the Companies Act 2006 and, depending on the circumstances, may require an application to the court.
We provide legal advice and assistance to directors, shareholders, creditors, and other interested parties in relation to company restoration in England and Wales.

- Creditors
- Liquidators or other interested parties
We assess eligibility based on the relevant statutory requirements and provide advice on the options available.
Administrative and Court Restoration
Administrative Restoration
Administrative restoration may be available where the company was struck off by the
Registrar and certain statutory conditions are met. We can advise on eligibility and assist
with the preparation and submission of the application to Companies House.
Court Restoration
Where administrative restoration is not available, a court application may be required. We can advise on the court process, required evidence, and procedural steps, and can represent clients in restoration proceedings where appropriate.
Effect of Restoration
If a company is restored to the register, it is generally treated as having continued in
existence as if it had not been dissolved. We can advise on the legal consequences of
restoration, including ongoing filing obligations and any outstanding liabilities.

We provide legal services in a professional and transparent manner, including:
- Clear advice on the scope of work and available options
