Statutory Demands

We Protect You from Legal Demands. A statutory demand is a formal legal notice demanding payment. If not challenged or paid within 21 days, the creditor can wind up the company.

We analyse validity, prepare set-aside applications and prevent escalation.

The Insolvency Winding-Up Process

Petition Filing

If the debt is not paid, settled, or disputed within 21 days, the creditor can file a winding-up petition.

Why it matters: public record and bank accounts may freeze. Our role: urgently defend the petition, negotiate settlement, or request an injunction to stop advertisement.

Court Hearing

A judge decides whether to grant a winding-up order.

Why it matters: an order leads to immediate liquidation. Our role: robust defence, challenge claims, and present CVAs or alternatives.

Liquidation

A winding-up order places the company into compulsory liquidation.

The Official Receiver or liquidator takes control. The company ceases trading, assets may be sold, employees dismissed, and directors investigated.

Director Protection

Our role includes director protection, personal liability advice, challenging orders and negotiating with liquidators.
