Restoring a dissolved Ltd

[Worriedman]

hi - my ltd co has been dissolved as I missed the letters while away. I need to restore the business asap and need to file a confirmation statement, I am in the process of restoring via an administrative route. However I have tried to submit my confirmation statement (as it says I need to do that asap to restore properly on the form) but I can't do that until the company is restored.......

Anyone know what I need to do?

Thanks

Hi,

As I understand it, it needs to be posted along with the RT01. Below quoted from https://www.gov.uk/restore-dissolved-company:

Send Companies House:

• a completed application for administrative restoration (form RT01)
• a cheque for £468, payable to ‘Companies House’
• any outstanding documents, such as company accounts or confirmation statements (previously annual returns)
• any filing fees or penalty payments
• if your company had assets, a waiver letter from Bona Vacantia

Companies House
Crown Way

Call Companies House if you need advice about your application.

Added to above: some of the accountant regulars here on UKBF may be able to help you directly if you would like support with this process. If needed I can recommend an accountancy firm who have helped one of my clients with this is in the past.

Thanks - I think my main quandary is trying to work out how to submit a confirmation statement when the company has been dissolved, it's not possible online anyway.

There were no assets in the company, do I need a bona vacantia letter?

Any accountants who can help - please let me know!

Are you sure you want to reinstate the company? If it has no assets, why not just start again?

@Chris Callaghan has explained above that you need to post it together with the relevant form to Companies House.

He has also offered to refer you to an accountant who can help you...

If there were no assets in the company, what are you hoping to gain by having it restored?

here were no assets in the company, do I need a bona vacantia letter?

no money held in the company bank account which went to the Crown when dissolved?
