Claiming money or property from a dissolved company

Skip contents

Apply for a discretionary grant

You may be able to get back a dissolved company’s assets if you were one of its shareholders.

How to apply

In England and Wales (but not Cornwall or Lancashire) you must apply to the Government Legal Department.

How you apply depends on whether the company can be restored or not.

The Government Legal Department has guidance on what you should do if:

• the company can be restored
• the company cannot be restored
