Step-by-step procedure
Analysis of the Situation and Reasons for Deregistration
We assess the reasons why the company was struck off or dissolved and verify the deadlines — a company can be restored within 20 years from the date of dissolution.
Determining the Appropriate Restoration Method
Administrative restoration: applies if the company was struck off for minor reasons (e.g., failure to file annual returns).
Court-ordered restoration: required when an application must be made to the court (e.g., to protect the rights of shareholders or creditors).

Settlement of Outstanding Liabilities and Document Preparation
We guide you on how to pay all overdue fees, penalties, and taxes. We prepare the necessary financial statements and confirm that directors’ and shareholders’ obligations have been fulfilled.
Filing the Restoration Application
For administrative restoration: we submit the application and supporting documents to the Companies Registry. For court-ordered restoration: we file a petition with the High Court of Hong Kong.
Obtaining the Restoration Decision
In administrative restoration, the Companies Registry reviews the documents and may request additional information. In court-ordered restoration, a hearing is scheduled. Upon approval, a Certificate of Restoration is issued, confirming the company’s active status.
Updating the Registry
The company is reinstated on the active register of the Companies Registry. We update and file all required reports and registration details. Once completed, the company is officially restored and can resume business operations, open bank accounts, and enter into contracts.

There are two methods:
- Administrative Restoration – suitable for companies struck off for minor breaches.

Typical requirements include the Application for Administrative Restoration of a Local Company, full settlement of all outstanding fees and penalties, and submission of all overdue annual returns, financial statements, and other required filings.
