The 12-month deadline matters

How you restore depends on how long ago the company was struck off.

Under 12 months: the company can usually be restored directly with the CRO on Form H1. This is the quicker and cheaper route.
Over 12 months (up to 20 years): restoration needs a court order, with notice to the CRO, Revenue and the Chief State Solicitor.

If you're close to the 12-month mark, contact us now. Missing it moves you to the court route.

What Happens When a Company Is Struck Off?

The consequences

The company is dissolved and stops existing as a legal entity
Its bank accounts are frozen
Property and money in the company pass to the State
Contracts, leases and insurance may be put at risk
Directors can face personal liability and enforcement action

Common reasons it happens

Annual returns not filed with the CRO
Accountant missed the deadline or changed
Registered office changed without telling the CRO
Revenue requested the strike-off for missing tax returns
Directors didn't see the CRO's warning letters

Once restored, the company is treated as if it had never been struck off.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my company can be restored?

Most companies struck off within the last 20 years can be restored. We check the strike-off date, the reason and the filing history for free, then tell you which route applies and what it will cost.

What's the difference between CRO restoration and court restoration?

If the company was struck off less than 12 months ago, it can usually be restored by filing Form H1 with the CRO, along with any outstanding annual returns. After 12 months, you need a court order. The court route takes longer and costs more because the CRO, Revenue and the Chief State Solicitor must be notified and give consent.

How long does restoration take?

The CRO route usually takes a few weeks once the outstanding returns are ready. The court route typically takes a few months, depending on consents and court dates. We'll give you a timeline at the status check.

Do I need to file old annual returns?

Yes. Every outstanding annual return must be filed, with accounts attached, before the company can be restored. We can prepare them for you, including dormant accounts and audited accounts where required.

What about the late filing penalties?

The CRO charges late filing penalties on each overdue return. On a restoration, the penalties are capped at the three most recent returns. We'll calculate the amount for you before you commit.

The company was struck off at Revenue's request. Can it still be restored?

Yes. The company's tax returns must be brought up to date first, and Revenue then issues a letter confirming it has no objection. We manage this as part of the service.

Will my bank account be unfrozen?

Once the company is restored, it is treated as if it had never been struck off. Assets that passed to the State, including bank balances, return to the company. Your bank may ask for the restoration confirmation before reopening the account.

Do I need to attend court?

No. On the court route, our solicitor attends the hearing on your behalf.

What documents do you need from me?

For each director, under our TCSP licence AML obligations: proof of identity (passport, national ID or driver's licence) and proof of address dated within the last 3 months. We'll ask for them after your consultation, and you can email them to us.

My company isn't struck off yet, but it's on the strike-off list. What should I do?

Act now, as it's cheaper to stop a strike-off than reverse one. Visit LateAnnualReturns.ie for a Section 343 District Court application, which protects the company from strike-off and can cancel the late filing penalties.

I don't want the company any more. Do I still need to restore it?

Only if it holds assets you need or has unfinished business. Otherwise it can be closed properly. See CloseACompany.ie for voluntary strike-off.
