Karl Williams
Head of Debt Recovery

 

 

Winding-up petitions are used for the recovery of debts from a limited company. 

Winding-up petitions are a measure of last resort as the costs are relatively high and in the event of a winding-up order being made you may not recover your costs.

Their clear advantage as a recovery tool is that they place the ultimate pressure upon the debtor company to arrange payment. 

  • generally applying only to higher value debts
  • will consider if a formal Statutory Demand is required
  • the process should not be used in respect of disputed debts
  • issue of petition and arranging personal service
  • advertising petition
  • attendance at court for final hearing
  • liaising with Insolvency Service/Liquidator

We agree a fixed fee in relation to our service for issuing winding-up proceedings.
