How does this notice affect you?
Choose what applies and we'll point you at the right next step.
A written-off invoice rarely stops at the company that failed. The supplier left short is often the next business in difficulty — and the earlier that's dealt with, the more options stay open. If RESEARCH STUDIOS LIMITED owed you money, it's worth checking where that leaves you.
Unpaid wages, holiday pay and statutory redundancy are claimed from the government's Redundancy Payments Service, not from K2. The insolvency practitioner named in this notice should send you a case reference — you'll need it to claim.
K2 has backed and restructured UK businesses since 1990, including buying trade and assets out of distress. These situations move in days rather than months, so if you're looking at RESEARCH STUDIOS LIMITED or something similar, start the conversation early.
