Winding-up petitions listing and alerts service

If you are looking for a quick and simple way of finding a business in financial difficulties and that has the potential to be turned around then your search is over. The companies below have had winding up petitions issued against them.

A winding-up petition is a legal document that is submitted by the party or parties wishing to liquidate the company. These parties may be the directors of the company themselves, or a third party such as a creditor.

A petition is issued prior to a pre-arranged court date. So a notice of a petition is a vital window of opportunity for directors or potential investors to save the business. If the business’ debts are paid off, it enters into a voluntary arrangement or administration, then it can avoid being liquidated by the court.

Our daily alerts of the latest winding up petitions is the fastest way creditors or investors can be informed of businesses in difficulty. We provide the company name, company type, last reported fixed assets and the location of its registered office.

As a subscriber to the Business Sale Report you will receive daily lists of companies facing winding up petitions, but also all UK businesses in that have gone into administration. Subscribers will also have access to our comprehensive list of businesses with a turnover of £500k+ that have been put up for sale.
