Re-entry of a Removed Business or Housing Company

It is possible to re-enter a business or a housing company in the register if they de facto were carrying on business at the time of the removal. In addition, it is required that a demand concerning the re-entry is made within five years of the removal (cf. Administrative Procedure Act, Section 52:1.)

A business or a housing company may demand re-entry by filing a free-form application. The application or its enclosures shall verify

• that the business or housing company has been in business at the time of the striking-off, and
• specify the nature of the business that was being conducted.
