Administrative Restoration

Administrative restoration refers to the procedure of re-adding a company to the Companies House Register after it has been struck off due to non-compliance, such as failing to submit necessary documents or meet legal requirements.

At AA Company Restoration, we offer expert services in administrative restoration, guiding businesses through the complex process of regaining their official status. With our knowledgeable team, we strive to ensure a smooth and efficient reinstatement process for our clients.

Initial Evaluation:

At AA Company Restoration, we begin by assessing your company's status to determine the necessary actions for reinstatement. This involves reviewing previous filings, identifying missing documents, and understanding the reason for the company’s dissolution.

Paperwork Handling:

Our team takes care of all the required documentation, ensuring that forms and paperwork are filled out correctly and submitted promptly to Companies House, helping to avoid delays in the restoration process.

Ensuring Compliance:

We assist you in meeting statutory requirements, such as filing annual accounts and returns, to ensure your company remains in compliance after being restored.

Liaison with Companies House:

We manage all communication with Companies House on your behalf, addressing any questions or issues that may arise, making sure the restoration process is as smooth as possible.

Court Order Restoration

Court order restoration is a legal procedure that allows a dissolved company to be reinstated to the Companies House Register, enabling it to access frozen assets or resume operations. This approach is typically used when administrative restoration cannot be applied due to specific conditions.

At AA Company Restoration, we specialise in court order restoration, assisting businesses through the detailed process of securing a court order to restore their company's legal status. Our expert team is well-versed in the complexities of court order restorations and is committed to achieving the best possible result for our clients.

Company Evaluation:

At AA Company Restoration, we start by evaluating your company's situation to determine if court order restoration is the best course of action. This includes reviewing the reasons for the dissolution and identifying any legal grounds for pursuing restoration through the courts.

Legal Expertise:

Our team provides expert legal representation throughout the court order restoration process. We prepare and file all necessary court documents, attend hearings on your behalf, and advocate for your company's reinstatement in court.

Stakeholder Negotiation:

In some cases, obtaining consent from other stakeholders or shareholders may be required for restoration. We offer guidance on how to resolve negotiations and seek necessary approvals from those with a vested interest.

Court Process Management:

We handle every aspect of the court proceedings, including presenting evidence, making legal arguments, and addressing any objections. Our goal is to secure a favourable court order for your company’s reinstatement.

Asset Recovery without being Restored

Asset recovery through Bona Vacantia is a process that occurs when a company has been dissolved, and its assets are claimed by the Crown due to the company’s failure to be restored to the Register. If a company is struck off and dissolved without going through the restoration process, its remaining assets may become ownerless and fall under the jurisdiction of Bona Vacantia. This means that the Crown takes control of these assets, as there is no legal entity to claim ownership.

In cases where a company is dissolved and its assets are deemed Bona Vacantia, it may be possible for former directors, shareholders, or other stakeholders to recover these assets, but this process is typically more complex. It often requires legal action and can involve the need to demonstrate a valid claim to the assets. Without the reinstatement of the company’s status, asset recovery is generally challenging and may not be straightforward.

At AA Company Restoration, we understand the complexities of asset recovery under Bona Vacantia, and while we primarily focus on company restorations, we can provide guidance and support for businesses seeking to recover assets in these circumstances.

This process can be complex and may require court intervention to recover the assets if the company remains dissolved. Asset recovery without company restoration involves attempting to reclaim assets from a dissolved company through legal channels, often under Bona Vacantia.
