BC company restoration

Your company was dissolved.
It can come back.

If the Registrar struck your BC company off the register, it hasn't vanished — it can usually be restored, and once fully restored the law treats it as if it had never been dissolved. We handle the whole thing for $499 flat plus government fees.

No payment now. You get a written plan first — the route, the $499 fee and the exact government fees — and nothing is filed until you say go.

How this usually happens: miss two annual reports, and the Registrar can dissolve your company — often without anyone at the company noticing, because the notices went to an old address or an inbox nobody checks.

What being dissolved actually breaks

Most owners discover the problem at the worst possible moment — mid-sale, mid-loan, or mid-audit. While your company is struck off:

The good news: restoration is a well-worn path. A full restoration puts the company back on the register permanently, and the company is deemed to have continued in existence as if it had never been dissolved, subject to any rights other people acquired while it was off the register. A limited restoration brings it back only for a set period and purpose, such as selling an asset or dealing with a claim, after which it is dissolved again. Your plan says which one fits. The sooner you start, the simpler it is.

Restoration, handled end to end

One flat fee, and a practicing BC lawyer does the work. Court-ordered restorations are quoted separately.

How it works

  1. Tell us the company nameTwo minutes on a short form. We don't need documents yet — just enough to look you up on the registry.
  2. We check the registry and send your planWe confirm how and when the company was dissolved, which restoration route applies, what the government fees will be, and how long it should take. Written, fixed, and free.
  3. You approve — then we fileOnly once you've approved the plan and signed a short engagement do we prepare and submit the restoration application. Nothing goes to the Registrar before that.
  4. Your company is backWe confirm the restoration and file the annual reports that were missed (government fees at cost). If the minute book also needs rebuilding, Minute Book Rescue ($299 flat) covers it — your plan says whether you need it.
  5. We keep it from happening againYour company goes onto a Minuted plan from $249/year — we become your registered & records office, track every deadline, and file your annual report each year.

Common questions

How long does a restoration take?

It depends on the route. A straightforward registrar restoration is usually a matter of weeks; a court-ordered restoration takes longer and is quoted separately. We give you a realistic timeline in your written plan before you commit to anything.

How much are the government fees?

They're set by BC Registries and depend on the route and how many missed annual reports have to be filed alongside the restoration. We charge them at cost with no markup, and the exact figure is in your plan before you approve.

Can I restore a company myself?

You can. Plenty of people do the straightforward ones. Where it gets expensive is choosing the wrong route, missing a required filing, or discovering after the fact that assets vested in the Crown. If your situation is simple, we'll tell you that in the plan.

Is my company gone for good if it's been years?

Not necessarily — but time matters, and the route available to you can change depending on how long it has been. Send us the name and we'll tell you where you stand.

What if I just want the restoration, not a subscription?

That's fine. The $499 restoration stands on its own. The ongoing plan is how we stop it recurring, but it isn't a condition of doing the work.
