Company Struck-Off Less Than a Year

Where a company has been struck off for less than 12 months, Company Bureau can draft and prepare the necessary documents to restore the company to the register. The documents filed will depend on whether the company is a CRO Strike-Off or a Revenue Strike-Off. To make this application, all outstanding annual returns must be filed together with the financial statements, which are required to be annexed to the same according to the provisions of the Companies Act 2014. These financial statements must relate to an individual financial year and may not be amalgamated with the accounts for another financial year or years. Late filing fees to the CRO must also be paid. Company Bureau can assist with the preparation of returns and non-trading accounts if you require us to do so.

Owners Management Company (OMC) Restoration

An Owners Management Company is defined in section 1 of the Multi-Unit Developments Act 2011. Company Bureau can assist with the requirements which are generally as per a standard restoration of a company dissolved less than 1 year, however, the Registrar must be satisfied that section 137(1) and section 149(8) of the Companies Act 2014 are complied with. It is important to note that the company cannot be restored to the register unless an accountant’s/solicitor’s certificate accompanies the application, as well as a certified copy of the deed of transfer of the common areas in respect of the multi-unit development in relation to which the company was incorporated.

Our fee for this restoration is €450+VAT and outlays. Please note you may also need to change the company name to incorporate the term ‘Owners Management Company’ into the name and also replace the Memorandum & Articles of Association with a new Constitution which has the provisions of the MUD Act 2011 and also the Companies Act 2014.
