Company Reinstatement

What is Reinstatement?

It’s restoring a company or CC that has been deregistered by CIPC, often for non‑payment of annual returns.

Think of it like this…

It’s reviving a business from the officially closed list.

Why does it matter?

• Allows the company to trade and own assets again
• May be necessary to sell property or close bank accounts
• Requires catching up on compliance

Best practice

Keep annual returns up to date to avoid deregistration in the first place.
