Restore Your Company’s Legal Status with AdminBoss
Restore Your Company’s Legal Status with AdminBoss
Has your company been deregistered by the Companies and Intellectual Property Commission (CIPC) because annual returns weren’t filed? We offer expert company reinstatement services to help you restore your business’s legal status quickly and correctly.
Understanding Company Reinstatement
Company reinstatement means restoring a deregistered company’s legal status on the CIPC database so it can trade, open bank accounts, protect assets, and operate lawfully in South Africa.
Why Companies Get Deregistered
Companies are often deregistered by CIPC when statutory requirements like filing annual returns or compliance details are not submitted on time. This removes the company from the public registry and stops it from operating legally. A deregistered company cannot legally conduct business until it’s reinstated.
At AdminBoss, we understand the urgency and complexity of this process. Our team manages the full reinstatement process for you, ensuring all documentation is correctly prepared and submitted to CIPC.
Who Qualifies for Reinstatement?
To qualify for reinstatement, your company must meet specific criteria set by CIPC.
Actively Trading
Your company must have been actively trading at the time it was deregistered. CIPC requires evidence of business activity.
Business Assets
Owning business assets such as active bank accounts, property, or equipment qualifies your company for reinstatement.
Proof Required
CIPC may require proof of activity or asset ownership before approving the reinstatement application.
Our Professional Reinstatement Service
At AdminBoss, we cover every aspect of the reinstatement process to ensure your company is restored without hassle.
Status Review
We assess why your company was deregistered and what’s required for reinstatement.
Application Prep
We prepare the correct documentation and submit the reinstatement request to CIPC on your behalf.
CIPC Liaison
We monitor progress and respond to any CIPC verification requests to keep the process moving smoothly.
Compliance Guidance
Once reinstated, we help you submit any outstanding annual returns or compliance filings so your status shows “In Business” again.
Transparent Pricing
This covers our professional service fee. CIPC charges its own application fee, and all outstanding annual return fees must be paid before the company status can fully return to “In Business”.

Understanding the post-reinstatement process ensures your company remains compliant.
Status Update
Your company status updates to “Reinstatement Process” on CIPC’s database.
File Returns
Submit all outstanding annual returns and compliance filings including beneficial ownership declarations.
Full Compliance
Once compliance is complete, your status becomes “In Business” on CIPC’s database.

Your company can now legally trade, open bank accounts, and protect assets.

Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to the most common questions about CIPC company reinstatement.
What does “reinstated” mean?
Reinstating a company restores it on CIPC’s legal register so it’s officially recognised to trade again in South Africa.
Do I need to show proof of trading?
Yes. CIPC may ask for bank statements, invoices, or other evidence showing the company was active when it was deregistered.
How do I start the reinstatement process?
Complete the contact form or get in touch with AdminBoss — we’ll walk you through the next steps and begin your reinstatement application promptly.
What is the turnaround time?
Typical CIPC processing takes several weeks depending on workload. AdminBoss tracks and manages this for you to reduce delays.
Are there additional costs?
CIPC charges its own application fee, and all outstanding annual return fees must be paid before the company status can fully return to “In Business”.
Can any deregistered company be reinstated?
Only companies that were actively trading or owned business assets at the time of deregistration qualify for reinstatement.
