It happens. A business gets busy, annual filings are missed, warning letters don’t get opened, and next thing you know — Companies House has struck the company off the register. Or perhaps the bank you’re trying to get funding from picks up your directors’ filing records aren’t right, or HMRC query your ‘people with significant control’ filed notifications as part of an application for tax relief.
This doesn’t just pause your operations — it can impact contracts compliance, your regulatory or franchise/JV compliance record, your ISO or quality certifications and of course it can cause major reputational damage.
It’s frustrating, stressful, and often a bit embarrassing. But it’s also fixable — and we’ve helped clients in this exact position get back on track, quickly and professionally.
What we do to help
We’ve worked closely with Companies House on behalf of our clients to:
- Ensure the right paperwork is in place, including supporting board minutes and members resolutions.
- Apply for company reinstatement if the company has been struck off
- Work out why it happened — and fix the root cause
- Protect your business reputation and continuity
In some cases, we’ve helped clients file missing allotments before tax claims or share buy-backs, or reinstate to the Companies Registry companies that were struck off years ago — recovering assets and regaining control.
You’re not alone
Filing slip-ups happen, especially in fast-moving businesses. What matters is not burying heads in the sand unti you have ‘more time’. Its about getting the right advice and putting things right. That’s where we come in.
If you’ve missed filings or been struck off the Register — or think you might be at risk — give us a call. We’ll take it from there.
