Administrative Restoration - Top 10 Reasons for Rejection Please ensure that you read the information below prior to making your application for administrative restoration. 1. The ‘bona vacantia’ waiver letter is not included with your application to restore. In most instances, you must obtain a bona vacantia waiver letter and enclose it with your application. However, if the company has no assets at the time that it is struck off the register, you do not need to obtain a waiver letter. More information on bona vacantia letter. 2. The Late filing penalties payment is missing/ incorrect. You must pay all late filing penalties before we will restore your company to the register. Find more information about whether your company has any outstanding late filing penalties by emailing our enquiries section at enquiries@companieshouse.gov.uk. 3.

Please ensure you enclose the correct fee. If you are applying to restore a company in Northern Ireland, the filing fee for the Annual Return may be different. If the Annual Return is made up to a date before 1 October 2009, you must complete a Form 371s (or LLP 371). The filing fee for this form is £20.

Every balance sheet must also state the name of the person who signed on behalf of the board. 10. Incorrect versions of other forms have been completed As mentioned in point 6 above, it is important that you complete the correct version of any outstanding forms which accompany your application for administrative restoration.
