Company Restoration

Need company restoration in Ireland? Chern & Co restores Irish companies that have been struck off the register by the Companies Registration Office (CRO): we bring the overdue annual returns up to date, deal with Revenue where the company was struck off for tax reasons, and file the restoration application, or prepare the file for a court application where more than 12 months have passed.

Two ways to restore a company in Ireland

  • Administrative restoration through the CRO: possible if no more than 12 months have passed since the company was dissolved. The company files Form H1 together with all outstanding annual returns and financial statements.
  • Restoration by court order: needed after 12 months. The company or a member can apply to the High Court within 20 years of dissolution, on notice to the Registrar of Companies, the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform and the Revenue Commissioners. A creditor can apply to the Circuit Court or the High Court.
  • Where the company was struck off at Revenue’s request, the CRO also needs written confirmation from Revenue that the outstanding tax statements have been delivered

What our restoration service covers

  • Checking why and when the company was struck off and which route applies
  • Preparing and filing the overdue annual returns (Form B1) with the financial statements for each missing year
  • Bringing the company’s Revenue position up to date where Revenue requested the strike-off
  • Preparing and filing Form H1 for administrative restoration
  • For a court restoration: obtaining the CRO letter of no objection, coordinating with your solicitor and lodging the court order with the CRO
  • Checking that the company has an EEA-resident director or a section 137 bond and a company secretary when it is restored

What you provide

  • The company name and number
  • The company’s accounting records for the years with missing annual returns
  • Details of the current directors, secretary and shareholders
  • Proof of ID and address of the directors and beneficial owners, as required by Anti-Money Laundering (AML) rules

How it works

  1. You contact us, we check the company record and confirm the route and what is needed.
  2. We agree the scope and send an invoice and a service contract.
  3. We prepare the overdue returns and financial statements and deal with Revenue if needed.
  4. We file the restoration application, or prepare the court application with your solicitor.
  5. Once the company is restored, we update its registers and filings.

Legal advice is recommended before any court application. The CRO or the court decides whether a company is restored.

Frequently asked questions

Can a struck-off company be restored?

Yes. Within 12 months of dissolution the company can apply to the CRO for administrative restoration on Form H1. After 12 months an application is made to court, within 20 years of dissolution.

What do I need to restore a company?

All outstanding annual returns with financial statements and, where Revenue requested the strike-off, confirmation from Revenue that the outstanding tax statements have been delivered.

What happens to the company’s assets after strike-off?

When a company is dissolved, its remaining property passes to the State. Restoration brings the company back as if it had never been dissolved.

Is restoration the same as reopening a closed business name?

No. Restoration applies to limited companies. A business name is registered again with the CRO, see our business name registration service.
