What this notice means

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 SM REALISATIONS 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's founder has turned around UK businesses since 1990, and K2 has backed and restructured them since 2001, including buying trade and assets out of distress. These situations move in days rather than months, so if you're looking at SM REALISATIONS LIMITED or something similar, start the conversation early.
A members' voluntary liquidation is a solvent, orderly closure — often part of retirement, a group restructure, or moving on to the next venture. K2's founder has advised UK company directors since 1990 on restructuring and what comes next. If that's on your horizon, talk to us.
