CIPC will allow the company to be restored, however this is an admin
intensive process as it requires a Deeds Office search, a letter from the
department of Public Works, 12 months bank statements proof of an advert in a
local paper and an affidavit stating why the annual returns were not paid.
Once
the application has been accepted by CIPC there will be another window period
during which all the outstanding annual returns and penalties need to be paid
in full in order to restore the company.
