Has Your Company Been Deregistered?

If your company has been deregistered and you need to bring it back into operation, you may need to apply for company restoration with CIPC.

A company may have been deregistered following non-compliance with certain statutory requirements, including failure to submit annual returns.

B Doyle & Associates can assist with the administrative restoration process and help you identify the steps required to bring the company back into good standing.

Why Would You Need to Restore a Company?

There are various reasons why you may need a deregistered company restored, including:

Continue Trading

You want to resume or continue operating through the existing company.

Recover the Company's Status

The company was deregistered, but you still require the legal entity.

Address Outstanding Compliance

There may be outstanding annual returns or other company compliance matters that need to be resolved.

Preserve an Existing Business

Rather than starting again with a new company, restoring the existing entity may be appropriate for your circumstances.

When Should You Consider Deregistration?

Company deregistration may be considered when:

  • The company has stopped trading.
  • The business is no longer operational.
  • The company is no longer required.
  • The owners have decided to close the business.
  • You want to formally conclude the company's affairs.

The appropriate process will depend on the company's circumstances and current status.

Company Deregistration

Ready to Close Your Company?

If your company is no longer trading and you no longer require the legal entity, formal company deregistration may be the appropriate next step.

Simply stopping business activities does not necessarily mean that all of the company's administrative responsibilities disappear.

B Doyle & Associates can assist with the CIPC company deregistration process, helping you take the necessary steps to formally close the company.
