What does it cost for companies
registered in England or Wales?
The Treasury
Solicitor will usually agree to an application subject to undertakings
being given to remedy the default eg by filing updated accounts. He
will also require payment of his costs which are usually approximately
£300.
In addition
there are our own fees for dealing with the court applcication which
are £750 plus vat of £131.25 and the court fees and commissioner for
oaths fees of £140 - a total of £1021.25
You may find
some competitors fees quoted for company restoration to the Companies
House roll appear lower than ours. Do not be mislead! We endeavour to
be totally honest from the outset with our clients. Our fees and
disbursements quoted above include everything - there are no hidden
extras for example solicitors fees. In addition we offer a professional
and quality service. We receive all court and Companies House
communications. Competitors who simply "advise" and draft documents
leave you to deal with the Court etc. This can be stressful if you get
things wrong. When you communicate with us by phone or email you
receive immediate responses. We make the process easy for you.
What does it cost for companies
registered in Scotland?
Fees for restoration of a Scottish company are £1200 plus vat and in
addition there is the cost of an advertisement in a newspaper and court
fees of £400. There are no Treasury solicitors fees to pay unlike in
England and Wales.
