If Companies House dissolves your company, we must restrict your business account and protect the funds. In line with government regulations, we're required to withdraw access to your account and transfer any remaining money in the account to the Treasury Solicitor. If we haven't transferred your money to the government yet, you don't need a waiver letter. Just message us in the app right now to let us know you're restoring the business. We'll keep your account suspended and safeguard your funds until your company status is active again. 🏛️
What happens if we still have your funds
If you plan on restoring the business, send us a message in the app straight away to let us know your plans. We'll have to keep the account suspended until it is listed as Active again on Companies House, but we'll keep your funds safe while you work with Companies House. Once your company is officially active again, let us know and we'll look into reopening your account.
What happens if the money has already moved
If we've already transferred the balance to the government, you'll need to take a few extra steps. The law views these funds as ownerless property once a company is dissolved. To get your money back, you must restore the business and then apply for repayment from the government using an RA15 form.
How to restore your business
The exact steps you need to take depend entirely on how your business was originally shut down. For more information see How do I restore a dissolved company?
