How much does it cost to restore a company?
With us, CRO restoration is €299.99 + VAT plus the €300 CRO fee. High Court restoration is €3,657.99 + VAT, all-inclusive: solicitor, barrister, High Court fees, Chief State Solicitor and Revenue Solicitor fees, and the CRO order filing fee. On top come any outstanding accounts and annual returns, and CRO late filing penalties.
Our fees
| Route | Our fee | Official fees |
|---|---|---|
| CRO restoration (Form H1) | €299.99 + VAT | €300 CRO fee |
| OMC restoration (H1 or H1-OMC) | €449.99 + VAT | €300 CRO fee |

Outstanding annual returns and accounts
Every missed year needs an annual return and financial statements. We prepare them from €249.99 + VAT per year, and the CRO charges €20 to file each return. If your accountant has already prepared the accounts, the cost is lower.
Late filing penalties
The CRO charges a late filing penalty on each overdue return: €100 plus €3 a day, up to €1,200 per return. The total depends on how many returns are outstanding and the restoration route, so we give you an itemised calculation at your free status check, before you commit.
Audits
A company that files late loses its audit exemption, so some years may need audited accounts. We'll tell you upfront if any year does, and quote it before we start.
