Restore your dissolved company
You can apply to Companies House to get your company restored (known as ‘administrative restoration’) if it was struck off the register and dissolved by the Registrar of Companies.
You can apply if:
- you were a director or shareholder
- the company was trading until it was struck off
- you didn’t voluntarily apply to have your company struck off
Otherwise you have to get a court order to have the company restored.
Apply
Send Companies House:
- a completed application for administrative restoration (form RT01)
- a cheque for £100, payable to ‘Companies House’
- any outstanding documents, eg accounts, annual returns
- any filing fees or penalty payments
- if your company had assets, a waiver letter from Bona Vacantia

What happens next
The Registrar of Companies decides whether to restore the company. If they refuse, you may be able to:
- apply for a court order to have it restored
- get a discretionary grant (if you were a shareholder and need to claim some money back)
