Restoration of a Belize Company. Organizing and Supporting the Court Procedure. Service offer

A Belize company becomes dissolved either voluntarily (by resolution of shareholders and completion of a certain procedure) or automatically after 5 years of being "struck off" (when a company did not pay its renewal and government fees).

In order to prepare an application for restoration of an automatically dissolved company, we will require the following information:

1. The applicant’s name and address.
2. The reason why the company’s renewal fees were not paid.
3. The reasons why the company needs to be restored (for example, the company has assets or is owed receivables by other parties). The reasons will need to be supported by documentary evidence.
4. The company’s Memorandum and Articles of Association and Certificate of Incorporation (if not available, we can order duplicates from the Registrar).
5. Certified copies of registers of directors and shareholders.

To restore a voluntarily liquidated company, the following is needed:

1. The applicant’s name and address.
2. The reasons why the company needs to be restored (for example, the company has assets or is owed receivables by other parties). The reasons will need to be supported by documentary evidence.
3. The company’s Memorandum and Articles of Association and Certificate of Incorporation (if not available, we can order duplicates from the Registrar).
4. Certified copies of registers of directors and shareholders.
5. Copies of all documents that were filed with the authorities for the liquidation of the company (resolutions, Liquidation Plan, Articles of Dissolution, etc.).
6. The company’s Certificate of Dissolution (if not available, we can order a duplicate from the Registrar).

The restoration procedure takes approximately 3 months from the date of application if the application is uncontested.

A company will also need to comply with all the requirements of the law that may not have existed at the time of dissolution (file the register of directors, make the register of beneficial owners, comply with economic substance and tax obligations/requirements). We recommend that you consult a specialist to understand the scope of work that will be required to properly restore your company.
